194 BASIC OPERATIONDuplex communication uses two different frequencies fortransmitting and receiving. Generally, duplex is used in com-munication through a repeater, some utility communications,etc.During duplex operation, the transmit station frequency isshifted from the receive station frequency by the offset fre-quency. Repeater information (offset frequency and shift di-rection) can be programmed into memory channels.
