DUPLEX OPERATION
Duplex operation allows the radio to transmit on a dierent frequency to that which it receives. This
allows operation through repeater stations in your area. Repeaters automatically re-transmit your signal
over a much wider area, providing greatly increased range. The Duplex mode only works on designated
repeater channels 1 – 8 and 41 – 48. With Duplex selected on one of these channels, your radio actually
transmits 30 channels higher than it receives. For example, if Duplex is selected on channel 1, your radio
will receive on channel 1 but will transmit on channel 31.
Duplex can be enabled or disabled on individual channels. When Duplex is enabled on the selected
channel,
