314 BASIC OPERATION■ Duplex operationD Setting offset frequencyWhen communicating through a repeater, the transmit fre-quency is shifted from the receive frequency by an amountdetermined by the offset frequency.q Select VFO mode or desired memory channel to be pro-grammed.w Push [8 SET] for 1 sec. to enter set mode.e Rotate [DIAL] until “OFFSET” appears.r Push [8 SET] again to select offset frequency.t Rotate [DIAL] to set the desired offset frequency.• The tuning step becomes the selected tuning step.• Push [VFO MHz] for 1 sec. to use the MHz tuning step, if de-sired.y Push [VFO] to exit set mode.D Setting duplex direction➥ Push [4 DUP] for 1 sec. to select “– DUP” or “DUP”.• “–DUP” or “DUP” indicates the transmit frequency for minus shiftor plus shift, respectively.• When offset frequencyis 500 kHz.FM DUPSKIPTPFM DUPSKIPTPFM DUPSKIPTPFM DUPSKIPTP–Duplex example+Duplex exampleReceivingReceivingTransmittingTransmitting[SQL][4 DUP][DIAL][8 SET][VFO MHz]5.0 MHz offset20.0 MHz offsetNo offset frequency
