Previous view 15 REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATIONS ■■FM Repeater operation A repeater receives transmitted signals and retransmits them on a different frequency. The transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by a preset frequency offset. In duplex operation, the transceiver's frequency offset is set to the same as that of the repeater. (p. 16-16) qqPush [V/MHz] to select the VFO mode. wwPush [MODE] several times to select the FM mode. eeRotate [DIAL] to set the receive frequency (repeater output frequency). • The frequency changes according to the preset tuning steps. See the page 5-8 for details. Only USA and Korean versions have an Auto Repeater function: When the function is turned ON, steps r and t are not necessary.* (Default for USA version: ON (DUP)) (Default for Korean version: ON) The Auto Repeater function can be turned OFF in the Auto Repeater item of the MENU screen. (MENU > Function > Auto Repeater) See page 16-73 for details. rrSet the duplex offset direction. (p. 15-5) • "DUP-" or "DUP+" appears. • The frequency offset can be set in the "Offset Freq" screen. (p. 15-4) (MENU > DUP/TONE... > Offset Freq) ttPush [QUICK] , and push D-pad() to select "TONE," and then push D-pad(Ent). D-pad (Ent) () yyPush D-pad() to select "TONE," and then push Dpad(Ent). • "TONE" appears. • The tone frequency can be set in the "Repeater Tone" screen. 88.5 Hz is set by default.
