TRANSMITTING A 1750 Hz TONE Most repeaters in Europe require that a transceiver transmit a 1750 Hz tone. On a TH-D75E, simply pressing [CALL] will transmit this tone. It is also possible to program [1750Hz] on the front panel as a [CALL] key for transmitting the 1750 Hz tone. 1 Access Menu No. 142. REVERSE FUNCTION After setting a separate receive and transmit frequency, you can exchange these frequencies using the Reverse function. This allows you to manually check the strength of signals you receive directly from other stations, while using a repeater. If the station's signal is strong, move to a simplex frequency to continue the contact and free up the repeater. 1 Press [REV] to turn the Reverse function [On] or [Off]. • When the Reverse function is On, the < R > icon will appear on the display. 2 Set to [1750Hz]. Some repeaters in Europe must receive continuous signals for a certain period of time, following a 1750 Hz tone. This transceiver is also capable of remaining in the transmit mode for 2 seconds after transmitting a 1750 Hz tone. 1 Access Menu No. 143. Note: ¡ If the transmit frequency is outside the allowable transmit frequency range when using Reverse, pressing [PTT] will cause an error tone to sound and transmission will be inhibited. ¡ If the receive frequency is outside the receive frequency range when using Reverse, an error tone will sound and Reverse will not operate. ¡ The ARO (Automatic Repeater Offset) will not function when Reverse is ON. ¡ You cannot switch Reverse On or Off while transmitting. 2 Set to [On]. Note: ¡ While remaining in the transmit mode, the transceiver does not continuously transmit a 1750 Hz tone. Selecting an Offset Direction The offset direction allows your transmit frequency to be higher (+) or lower (-) than the receive frequency. 1 Select your desired band (A or B). 2 Press [F], [REV] to select an offset direction. • Each time you press [F], [REV], the offset direction changes as follows: Simplex operation Simplex operation • If you are using a TH-D75E, when operating on the 430 MHz band, the offset direction changes as follows: Simplex operation 7.6 MHz) Simplex operation If the offset transmit frequency falls outside the allowable range, transmitting is inhibited. Use one of the following methods to bring the transmit frequency within the band limits: • Move the receive frequency further inside the band. • Change the offset direction. Note: ¡ While using an odd-split memory channel or transmitting, you cannot change the offset direction. 7-3
