repeaters receive at a frequency 600 kHz lower or higher than they
retransmit (repeat) on. For example, if a repeater's input frequency is
146.340 MHz, its output frequency is 146.949 MHz. The following is a list
of the most commonly used repeater pairs.
INPUT FREQUENCY OUTPUT FREQUENCY
146.O7 MHz 146.67 MHz
146.13 MHz 146.73 MHz
146.16 MHz 146.76 MHz
146.22 MHz 146.82 MHz
146.25 MHz 146.85 MHz
146.28 MHz 146.88 MHz
146.31 MHz 146.91 MHz
146.34 MHz 146.94 MHz
146.37 MHz 146.97 MHz
146.40 MHz 147.OO MHz
To operate with a repeater, you must transmit on the repeater's input
frequency and receive on the repeater's output frequency. If you
frequently use a repeater that does not have a 600 kHz offset, we
recommend
you program the repeater frequency into one of the transceiver's memories.
You can override the default offset for each memory.
To change the default offset, follow the steps in "Understanding the
Configuration Menu." to display the oS menu item, and rotate TUNE to
change
the offset. The transceiver lets you set the offset to be in the range
from 0 MHz to 4 MHz in steps as set by the frequency step option.
USING SUBAUDIBLE TONE SQUELCH (CTCSS)
Some repeaters require that you transmit subaudible tone to key-up the
repeater. You can set your transceiver to transmit any of the 38 standard
subaudible tones. You can also limit incoming calls by setting your
transceiver to open the squelch only when someone transmits a subaudible
tone you set.
