Useful functions
XBR(CrossbandRepeater)Mode/T-modelsonly
This mode allows the DR735T to operate like a repeater using both VHF and UHF bands.
That is, when receiving a signal on one band, the radio automatically transmits the same signal on another
band simultaneously.
XBRModeoperation
Set the bands to145MHz and 440MHz, and select both frequencies within the transmitting range.
• Any combination of VFO, memory channels, or CALL channels can be set as receiving and transmitting
frequencies provided they are 145/440MHz ham band combination.
• The XBR doesn’t support digital modes such as packet and digital-voice.
• The XBR respects the offset shift, direction and selective calling tone settings.
• The TOT function is usable but TOT penalty-time and BCLO functions become deactivated during the
XBR operation.
• When the DC current is cut, and comes back again, the radio turns on in XBR mode without power key
operation.
To activate the XBR, turn off then press and hold the MW key while turning on the power.
XBR icons appear on the display. Repeat the same to exit from the XBR mode.
CAUTION
The radio becomes very hot while operating as a XBR. Use of an external, additional
cooling fan is recommended especially when operating in high power.
