4 REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATION Accessing a repeater A Repeater receives signals on one frequency, and then retransmits them on a different frequency. When using a Repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by a frequency offset. A Repeater can be accessed using the Duplex function by setting the transceiver's offset to the same value as the Repeater's offset. Step 2. Transmitting 1. Hold down [PTT] for 2 seconds. ••If your transmit signal reached the repeater, after releasing [PTT], you can hear the repeater's call sign in morse codes or its announcement. Accessing a Repeater Receiving from a Repeater ▲ Repeater Station A: Uplink: 145.500 MHz Downlink: 144.900 MHz Station B: Uplink: 145.500 MHz Downlink: 144.900 MHz Step 1. Setting the Repeater frequency 1. Repeatedly push [V/M/C] to select the VFO mode. 2. R otate [DIAL] to set the repeater output frequency. TIP: For only the USA version Steps 3 to 5 are not necessary if the Auto Repeater function (p. 5-7) is turned ON since the function automatically sets the repeater settings. 3. Set the repeater tone in the Set mode (p. 5-3). 4. Set the duplex direction in the Set mode (p. 5-4). 5. Set the offset frequency in the Set mode (p. 5-4). Hold down [PTT] for 2 seconds. Receives the Repeater's call sign. 2. Operate in the same way as a simplex call, alternately transmit and receive. Receive frequency Shifts by the offset amount Transmit frequency 4-2
