Communicating directly with other radios
You can bypass the radio repeater and communicate directly
with another radio. This feature is known as repeater
talkaround. You can do this, for example, when you are out
of range of the repeater, or if the repeater is busy or stops
working for whatever reason.
While repeater talkaround is active, all transmissions are
made on the receive frequency of the channel you are on.
To activate repeater talkaround:
1 Change to the required channel.
2 Press the programmed function key to turn repeater
talkaround on.
3 Proceed with your call.
4 To turn repeater talkaround off, either:
■ change the channel, or
■ press the function key again.
