11 REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATIONS FM Repeater operation A Repeater receives signals and 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. See Section 5 for details on accessing a D-STAR Repeater. DDSetting the Repeater frequency 1. Push [VFO/MHz] to enter the VFO mode. 2. Push [MODE] to select the FM mode. Repeater RX: 144900 MHz TX: 145500 MHz Station A RX: 145500 MHz TX: 144900 MHz Station B RX: 145500 MHz TX: 144900 MHz 7. Push [QUICK]. 8. Select "TONE" and turn ON the Repeater Tone. 3. Rotate [DIAL] to set the frequency received from a repeater. •• The TONE icon is displayed. 9. 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 ▲ TIP: For only the USA version The Auto Repeater function (p. 11-5) automatically sets the repeater settings (duplex ON/OFF, duplex direction, tone encoder ON/ OFF). When the function is ON, steps 4 ~ 8 are not necessary. LLYou can turn OFF the function and manually set the repeater settings. ([MENU] > SET > Function > Auto Repeater) 4. Set the offset frequency and the Duplex direction. (p. 11-4) Push [PTT] for 2 seconds Receives the Repeater's call sign 10. Operate in the same way as a simplex call, alternately transmit and receive. Receive frequency Shifts by the offset amount Transmit frequency •• The Duplex icon is displayed. 5. Set the Repeater tone. (Default: 88.5 Hz) ([MENU] > SET > DUP/TONE... > Repeater Tone) (p. 12-4) 6. Push [MENU] to exit the MENU screen. TIP: •• When the repeater tone frequency or the frequency offset is changed, the tone or offset for Auto Repeater function is also changed. •• If the offset value causes the transmit frequency to be out of the band, "OFF BAND" is displayed on the display when you push [PTT], and transmit is inhibited.
