General Radio Operation 
 Repeater or Direct Operation 
The REPEATER operation increases the radio’s range 
by connecting with other radios through a repeater. The 
transmit and receive frequencies are different. 
The DIRECT or “talkaround operation” allows you to 
bypass the repeater and connect directly to another 
radio. The transmit and receive frequencies are the 
same. 
 
Move the 16-Position Channel/Talkgroup Select to a 
preprogrammed Direct channel in the radio to talk in a 
direct/talkaround mode. 
 
The display shows the Talkaround icon           if the radio 
is currently in Direct mode (during conventional 
operation only).
