REPEATER OPERATION
■ General
When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from
the receive frequency by the offset frequency. (p. 24) It is con-
venient to program repeater information into memory chan-
nels. (p. 12)
q Set the receive frequency (repeater output frequency).
w Set the shift direction of the transmit frequency. (–DUP or
DUP; see the next section for details.)
•When the auto repeater function is in use (U.S.A. version only),
this selection and step e are not necessary. (p. 25)
e Activate the subaudible tone encoder, according to re-
peater requirements.
•Refer to the next page for tone frequency settings.
r Push and hold [PTT] to transmit.
•The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit
frequency (repeater input frequency).
•If “OFF” appears, check the offset frequency (p. 24) or shift di-
rection (right section).
t Release [PTT] to receive.
y Push and hold [SQL] to check whether the other station’s
transmit signal can be directly received or not.

q Push [V/M] for 2 sec. to enter expanded set mode.
w Rotate [DIAL] until “DUP” appears.
•Turn the expanded set mode ON for selection. (p. 28)
•“DUP” disappears after 1 sec. and “dP” appears.
e While pushing [FUNC], rotate [DIAL] to select “–DUP” or
“+DUP.”
•“–DUP” or “+DUP” indicates the transmit frequency for minus shift
or plus shift, respectively.
•When the auto repeater function is in use (U.S.A. version only),
this selection and step e are not necessary. (p. 25)
r Push [V/M] to exit set mode.

Tone scan function: When you don’t know the subaudible
tone used for a repeater, the tone scan is convenient for de-
tecting the tone frequency.
➥Push [FUNC] + [Y] or [Z] for 2 sec. to activate. See p. 27
for more information.
