244REPEATER OPERATION4 Offset frequency [When communicating through a repeater, the transmit fre-quency is shifted from the receive frequency by an amountdetermined by the offset frequency.Independent offset frequencies can be set for each operatingfrequency.q Push [BAND] to select the desired frequency band.wSelect the desired mode/channel you wish to set the offsetfrequency, such as VFO mode or memory/call channel.• The offset frequency can be independently programmed intoeach mode or channel.e Push [SET•LOCK] to enter set mode.rPush [SET•LOCK] or [S.MW•MW] until “DUP” and offsetfrequency appear.t Rotate [DIAL] to set the desired offset frequency.y Push [V/MHz•SCAN] to exit set mode.z Push [BAND] to select the desired frequencyband.• Enter the desired frequency via the keypad if neces-sary.x Select the desired mode/channel you wish toset the offset frequency, such as VFO mode ormemory/call channel.• The offset frequency can be independently pro-grammed into each mode or channel.c Push [SET B(D-OFF)] to enter set mode.v Push [ SET B(D-OFF)] or [ ENT C(T-OFF)] until“DUP” and offset frequency appear.b Push [Y] or [Z] to set the desired offset.• Direct frequency entry from the keypad is not possi-ble.n Push [CLR A(MW)] to exit set mode.NOTE: The offset frequency can be set in a memory/callchannel temporarily. However, the set frequency is clearedonce another memory channel or VFO mode is selected.To store the offset frequency permanently, overwrite thechannel information.PushSETB[SET•LOCK] “DUP” and offset frequency appear
