Repeater Operation
Communicating Via the Repeater
The transceiver includes an ARS (Automatic Repeater Shift) function which
sets the repeater operation automatically when the receiver is tuned to the
repeater frequency.
1. Set the downlink (output) frequency from the
repeater.
2. “
” or “ ” lcons may automatically appear
above the frequency.
● The reverse state
The “reverse” state temporarily reverses the transmit and receive
frequencies. This allows checking to find if direct communication with the
other station is possible.
1. Press the Function key, and then press the [P2]
key.
The transmit and receive frequencies are
temporarily reversed (“reverse” state).
In the “reverse” state, the “
” or “ ” blinks on
the LCD.
2. Press the Function key to exit from the “reverse”
state.

• The repeater settings may be changed from the Set Mode.
Set mode “30 RPT.FRQ”: Allows changing the repeater shift offset ( 28).
Set mode “31 RPT.SFT”: Allows setting the repeater shift direction
( 28)
.
Set mode “29 RPT.ARS”: Allows setting the ARS function
(

)

Tone Calling (1750 Hz)
If your transceiver is FT-4XE (European version), press and hold in the MONI/
T-CALL switch to generates the 1750 Hz burst tone to access the European
repeater.
The transmitter will automatically be activated, and the 1750 Hz audio tone
will be superimposed on the carrier. Once the repeater has been accessed,
release the MONI/T-CALL switch, and use the PTT switch to activate the
transmitter thereafter.
If needed, the FT-4XR (USA/Asian version), may be set to access repeaters
which require a 1750 Hz burst tone by setting the MONI/T-CALL switch to
serve as a “Tone Call” switch instead. To change the configuration of the
MONI/T-CALL switch, use Set Mode “19 M/T-CL” (
27
).
