Common Radio Features
Repeater/Direct
The repeater/direct feature allows you to bypass the repeater and talk directly 
to another radio. This is known as DIRECT operation or talkaround operation. 
The transmit frequency is the same as the receive frequency. 
In REPEATER operation, you talk through the repeater, which increases the 
radio’s operating range. The transmit frequency is not the same as the receive 
frequency.
