FT-60R OPERATING MANUAL 21
Checking the Repeater Uplink (Input) Frequency
It often is helpful to be able to check the uplink (input) frequency of a repeater, to see if the
calling station is within direct (“Simplex”) range.
To do this, just press the
[
HM/RV
]
key. You’ll notice that
the display has shifted to the repeater uplink frequency. Press
the
[
HM/RV
]
key again to cause operation to revert to nor-
mal monitoring of the repeater downlink (output) frequency.
While you are listening on the input frequency to the re-
peater using the
[
HM/RV
]
key, the repeater offset icon will
blink.
The configuration of this key may be set either to “RV” (for checking the
input frequency of a repeater), or “HM” (for instant switching to the “Home”
channel for the band you are operating on). To change the configuration of
this key, use Set Mode Item 36: REV/HM. See page 75.
