Manual Repeater Shift Activation
If the ARS feature has been disabled, or if you need to set a repeater shift other than that
established by the ARS, you may set the direction of the repeater shift manually.
To do this, press the
[F/W]
key, then press the
[6(RP)ONT]
key. This provides a “shortcut”
to Menu #07 (“
RPT SHIFT
RPT SHIFT
RPT SHIFT
RPT SHIFT
RPT SHIFT
”). Rotate the
DIAL
, and you will see that the “
–––––
” or “
+++++
” icon
appears at the bottom of the LCD (when no icon is present, “Simplex” operation - transmit
and receive on the same frequency - has been selected, and the LCD will indicate “
SIMP
SIMP
SIMP
SIMP
SIMP
”
in this case).
When the desired shift direction has been selected, press the
PTT
key momentarily to save
your new setting and exit.
Changing the Default Repeater Shifts
If you travel to a different country, you may need to change the default repeater shift so as
to ensure compatibility with local operating requirements.
To do this, follow the procedure below:
•
Set the
VX-5R
to the band on which you wish to change the default repeater shift.
‚
Press the
[F/W]
key, then immediately press the
[BAND(SET)AR]
key to enter the Set
mode.
ƒ
Rotate the
DIAL
to select Menu Item #08 (“
SHIFT
SHIFT
SHIFT
SHIFT
SHIFT
”).
„
The current shift will now be displayed on the LCD. Rotate the
DIAL
to select the new
repeater shift magnitude.
…
Press the
PTT
key momentarily to save the new setting and exit.
If you just have one “odd” split that you need to program, don’t change the
“default” repeated shifts using Menu Item #08! Enter the transmit and re-
ceive frequencies separately, as shown on page 42.
When setting a large repeater shift (e.g. 5.0 MHz for 440 MHz), remember that you can
tune in 1 MHz steps by pressing
[F/W]
, then rotating the
DIAL
.
Checking the Repeater Uplink (Input) Frequency
It often is helpful to be able to check the uplink (input) frequency of a repeater, to see if the
calling station is within direct (“Simplex”) range.
To do this, press the
[F/W]
key then
MONI
key. Alternatively, if Menu Item #24 (“
HOME/
HOME/
HOME/
HOME/
HOME/
REV
REV
REV
REV
REV
”) has been set to “
REV
REV
REV
REV
REV
”, you may just press the
[HM/RV(EMG)]
key momentarily. To
return to the normal uplink/downlink frequency relationship, repeat this step.
