Repeater Operation
Communicating Via the Repeater
The transceiver includes an ARS (Automatic Repeater Shift) function which automatical-
ly sets the repeater operation when the receiver is tuned to the repeater frequency.
1. Set the downlink (output) frequency of the repeater.
2. “ ” or “ ” and “
TN
” icons may automatically appear
above the frequency.
3. Speak into the microphone while pressing and holding
the
PTT
switch.

The reverse state
The “reverse” state temporarily reverses the transmit and receive frequencies. This
allows checking to find if direct communication with the other station is possible.
1. Touch [
F MW
], then touch [
REV
].
If [
REV
] is not displayed, touch [
BACK ←

[
REV
] and touch it.
•
The transmit and receive frequencies are temporar-
ily reversed (“reverse” state).

In the “reverse” state, the “ ” or “ ” blinks on the
display.

The repeater settings may be changed from the Set Mode.
Set Mode [CONFIG] → [15 RPT SHIFT]: Allows setting the repeater shift direction.
Set Mode [

[
16 RPT SHIFT FREQ

Set Mode [

Tone Calling (1750 Hz)
If your transceiver is FT3DE (European version), press and hold in the MONI/T-CALL
switch (just below the PTT switch) to generates a 1750 Hz burst tone to access the
European repeater. The transmitter will automatically be activated, and a 1750 Hz
audio tone will be superimposed on the carrier. Once access to the repeater has been
gained, you may release the switch, and use the switch for activating the transmitter
thereafter. If you need to access the repeaters which requires a 1750 Hz burst tone
for access by the FT3DR (USA/Asian versions), you can set the switch to serve as a
“Tone Call” switch instead. To change the configuration of this switch, use Set Mode
[CONFIG] → [10 MONI/T-CALL].
