Repeater operation
A repeater amplifies received signals and retransmits
them at a different frequency. When using a repeater,
the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive fre-
quency by an offset frequency. A repeater can be ac-
cessed using split frequency operation with the shift
frequency set to the repeater’s receive frequency.
For accessing a repeater which requires a repeater
tone, set the repeater tone frequency in tone fre-
quency set mode as described below.
q Set the offset frequencies (HF, 50 MHz) and turn
ON the quick split function in Others set mode in ad-
vance. (pgs. 12-12, 12-13)

e Push the desired band key.
r Push several times to select FM mode.
t Set the receive frequency (repeater output fre-
quency).
y Push and hold for 1 sec. to start repeater
operation.
