REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATIONS
11-2
FM Repeater operation
A Repeater receives signals and on one frequency,
and then retransmits them on a different frequency.
When using a Repeater, the transmit frequency is
shifted from the receive frequency by a frequency
offset.
A Repeater can be accessed using the Duplex
function by setting the transceiver’s offset to the same
value as the Repeater’s offset.
See Section 5 for details on accessing a D-STAR
Repeater.
DSetting the Repeater frequency
1. Push [VFO/MHz] to enter the VFO mode.
2. Push [MODE] to select the FM mode.
3. Rotate [DIAL] to set the frequency received from a
repeater.
TIP: For only the USA version
The Auto Repeater function (p. 11-5)
automatically sets the repeater settings (duplex
ON/OFF, duplex direction, tone encoder ON/
OFF). When the function is ON, steps 4 ~ 8 are
not necessary.
L You can turn OFF the function and manually set the
repeater settings.
([MENU] > SET > Function > Auto Repeater)
4. Set the offset frequency and the Duplex direction.
(p. 11-4)
• The Duplex icon is displayed.
5. Set the Repeater tone. (Default: 88.5 Hz)
([MENU] > SET > DUP/TONE... > Repeater Tone)
(p. 12-4)
6. Push [MENU] to exit the MENU screen.
7. Push [QUICK].
8. Select “TONE” and turn ON the Repeater Tone.
• The TONE icon is displayed.
9. Hold down [PTT] for 2 seconds.
• If your transmit signal reached the repeater, after
releasing [PTT], you can hear the repeater’s call sign
in morse codes or its announcement.
10. Operate in the same way as a simplex call,
alternately transmit and receive.

TIP:
• When the repeater tone frequency or the frequency
offset is changed, the tone or offset for Auto Repeater
function is also changed.
• If the offset value causes the transmit frequency to be
out of the band, “OFF BAND” is displayed on the display
when you push [PTT], and transmit is inhibited. (p. 11-5)
