Bypassing the repeater
(on analog channels)
For analog channels, 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.
While repeater talkaround is active, all transmissions
are made on the receive frequency of the channel you
are on.
To activate repeater talkaround, you may be able to
either use a programmed function key, or use the
Main menu.
Using the Main menu
1 Select the required channel.
2 Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Talkaround.
3 In the Talkaround menu, choose On.
4 Press Select. The message Talkaround
activated appears briefly, and the repeater
talkaround icon appears on the display.
5 Proceed with your call.
6 To turn repeater talkaround off, either change the
channel, or choose Off in the Talkaround menu.
Using a function key
1 Select the required channel.
