VX-456 Operating Manual 5
Repeater and Duplex Mode: Duplex operation al-
lows the radio to transmit on a different frequency to
that which it receives. This allows operation through
repeater stations.
A repeater station consists of a linked transmitter/re-
ceiver combination installed in a prominent location.
The repeater is designed to receive signals on a
designated channel and retransmit them on another
channel.
Repeater stations, usually located on mountaintops
or other high locations, provide a dramatic extension
of the communication range for low-powered hand-
held or mobile transceivers.
features
Normally, UHF radios transmit and receive on the
same frequency - known as simplex operation. How-
ever to communicate through repeaters, your radio
must be able to transmit and receive on different
channels - otherwise known as Duplex operation.
This radio can easily perform the Repeater operation
by selecting the
CH
selector knob to the repeater
channel.
The Repeater channel is set in channels 1 - 8 and 41
- 48 which have been allocated for repeater use. In
the Repeater channel, the “D” notation is appeared
on the right side
of the channel in-
dication. Refer to
page 34 for details
of the Channel List.
