Repeater Splits
This transceiver offers three methods of setting up split frequency operation
on repeaters:
•
Manual selection of preset repeater shifts;
•
Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS), providing automatic activation of repeater
shifts during designated repeater frequency subbands; and
•
Independently stored transmit and receive frequencies (typically not corre-
sponding to established repeater frequency shifts).
Standard Repeater Shift
To activate the repeater shift, just press the key. The available choices
will appear in the following order with each press of the key:
(
ARS
) “Automatic Repeater Shift” ß (
–
) “Minus” shift ß (
+
) “Plus” shift ß
(
OFF
) “Simplex” ß (
ARS
) ...
With repeater shift activated, you can temporarily reverse the transmit and receive
frequencies by pressing the key. Use this feature to display the repeater
uplink frequency without transmitting, and to check the strength of signals on the
uplink frequency (so as to determine whether or not a particular station is within
“Simplex” range, for example). The “
r
” icon will appear at the bottom left side of
the display while “Reverse” shift is activated.
The default repeater offsets are fixed at 600 kHz on the VHF band and 1.6/
5.0/7.6 MHz on the UHF band (depending on your country’s requirements)
from the factory. You can change the standard offset, if needed, using the
following procedure:
1. Set the transceiver to the band on which you wish to change the standard re-
peater shift (VHF or UHF).
2. Press and hold in the key for one second, then rotate the MAIN DIAL
knob to select “
30Shift
.”
3. Press either the or key to set the desired offset. Note that the
resolution of the “standard” repeater shift is to the nearest 50 kHz multiple.
4. Press and hold in the key for 1.5 second to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
5. If you wish to change the standard offset on the other band, repeat steps 1
through 4 above.
