4 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT ■ Repeater operation A repeater retransmits a received signal on a different frequency. When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by an offset frequency. A repeater can be accessed using split frequency operation with the transmit frequency shifted to the repeater's receive frequency. For accessing a repeater which requires an access tone, set the tone frequency in tone frequency set mode as described below. q S et the offset frequencies (HF, 50 MHz) and turn ON the quick split function in others set mode in advance. (pgs. 89, 129) w Push [VFO/MEMO] to select VFO mode. e Push the desired band key. r P ush [AM/FM] several times to select FM mode. t S et the receive frequency (repeater output fre- quency). y P ush and hold [SPLIT] for 1 sec. to start repeater operation. • Repeater tone is turned ON automatically. • [SPLIT] indicator lights and " " appears on the LCD. • The tone encoder function is turned ON in FM mode. • Shifted transmit frequency and "TX" appear in the sub band. • The transmit frequency can be monitored while push- ing [XFC]. u P ush and hold [PTT] to transmit; release [PTT] to receive. i T o return to simplex, push [SPLIT] momentarily. D Repeater access tone frequency setting Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be accessed. Subaudible tones are superimposed on your normal signal and must be set in advance. The transceiver has 50 tones from 67.0 Hz to 254.1 Hz. q D uring FM mode operation, push and hold [TONE] (MF7) for 1 sec. to enter tone frequency set mode. w P ush [Y] (F-1) or [Z] (F-2) to select REPEATER TONE item. e R otate the main dial to select the desired repeater tone frequency. • Push and hold [DEF] (F-4) for 1 sec. to select the default setting. r P ush [EXIT/SET] to return to the previous indication. • Available tone frequencies (unit: Hz) 67.0 85.4 107.2 136.5 165.5 186.2 210.7 254.1 69.3 088.5 110.9 141.3 167.9 189.9 218.1 71.9 091.5 114.8 146.2 171.3 192.8 225.7 74.4 094.8 118.8 151.4 173.8 196.6 229.1 77.0 097.4 123.0 156.7 177.3 199.5 233.6 79.7 100.0 127.3 159.8 179.9 203.5 241.8 82.5 103.5 131.8 162.2 183.5 206.5 250.3 [SPLIT] indicator SPLIT Band keys AM/FM Main XFC dial VFO/MEMO Appears Appears TONE F-1 F-2 F-4 DEF • Tone frequency set mode EXIT/SET Main dial 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 62
