Repeater stations, usually located on mountaintops or other high locations, provide a dra-
matic extension of the communication range for low-powered hand-held or mobile trans-
ceivers. The
VX-5R
includes a number of features which make repeater operation simple
and enjoyable.
Repeater Shifts
Your
VX-5R
has been configured, at the factory, for the repeater shifts customary in your
country. For the 50 MHz band, this usually will be 1 MHz, while the 144 MHz shift will be
600 kHz; on 70 cm, the shift may be 1.6 MHz, 7.6 MHz, or 5 MHz (USA version).
Depending on the part of the band in which you are operating, the repeater shift may be
either downward (“
–––––
”) or upward (“
+++++
”), and one of these icons will appear at the bottom
of the LCD when repeater shifts have been enabled.
Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS)
The VX-5R provides a convenient Automatic Repeater Shift feature, which causes the
appropriate repeater shift to be automatically applied whenever you tune into the desig-
nated repeater sub-bands in your country. These sub-bands are shown below.
If the ARS feature does not appear to be working, you may have accidentally disabled it.
To re-enable ARS:
•
Press the
[F/W]
key, then immediately press the
[BAND(SET)AR]
key to enter the Set
mode.

DIAL
to select Menu Item #06 (“
