(p. 94)Step 2:Step the desired receive frequency (repeater output frequency).Step 3:Set the duplex (shift) direction (– duplex or +duplex).- Set the frequency offset (amount of shift), if required.Step 4:Set the subaudible tone (repeater tone) encoder function ON.- Set the subaudible tone frequency, if required.Step 1:Step the desired band to operate the repeater.
