REPEATER OPERATION
■ Repeater operation
Repeaters allow you to extend the operational range of your
radio.
Normally, a repeater has independent frequencies for re-
ceive and transmit.
■ Accessing a repeater
A repeater amplifi es received signals and re-transmits them
on a different frequency, allowing you to communicate over
greater distances with improved reliability. When using a
repeater, the repeater output channel (‘CB-R1’ to ‘CB-R8’)
must be selected.
You can search the accessible repeater in your local area
using the Repeater search scan function. (p. 25)
