215 REPEATER OPERATION225REPEATER OPERATION Offset frequencyWhen communicating through a repeater, the transmit frequency isshifted from the receive frequency by an amount determined by theoffset frequency.q Push [8•SET] after pushing [A•FUNC]to enter SET MODE.w Push [Y]/[Z] several times until “±”and offset frequency appear.e Rotate [VOL] to select the desired offset frequency.• Selectable steps are the same as the pre-set tuning steps.• The unit of displayed offset frequency is “MHz.”r Push [#•ENT ] to fix the offset frequency and exit SET MODE. Subaudible tonesSome repeaters require subaudible tones to be accessed. Sub-audible tones are superimposed over your normal signal and mustbe set in advance.q Push [8•SET] after pushing [A•FUNC]to enter SET MODE.w Push [Y]/[Z] one or more times until“rt” appears.e Rotate [VOL] to select the desired subaudible tone.r Push [#•ENT ] to enter the selected tone and exit set mode.USING SET MODESKIPAOLMMRF TX755025Available subaudible tone frequencies (unit: Hz)67.0 79.7 94.8 110.9 131.8 156.7 171.3 186.2 203.5 229.169.3 82.5 97.4 114.8 136.5 159.8 173.8 189.9 206.5 233.671.9 85.4 100.0 118.8 141.3 162.2 177.3 192.8 210.7 241.874.4 88.5 103.5 123.0 146.2 165.5 179.9 196.6 218.1 250.377.0 91.5 107.2 127.3 151.4 167.9 183.5 199.5 225.7 254.1USING SET MODESKIPAOLMMRF TX755025D GeneralWhen using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from thereceive frequency by the offset frequency. It is convenient to pro-gram repeater information into memory channels.q Set the receive frequency (repeater output frequency).w Push [4•DUP] after pushing [A•FUNC] several times to select “–” or“+.”• “–” indicates the transmit frequency is shifted down; “+” indicatesthe transmit frequency is shifted up.• Flashing “–” or “+” indicates the reversed duplex mode is selectedin SET MODE (p. 46).• When the auto repeater function is in used (USA version only) thisselection and step e are not necessary. (p. 24)e Push [1•TONE] after pushing [A•FUNC] to activate the subaudibletone encoder, according to repeater requirements.• “ ” appears.• Select the desired sub audible tone frequency, if necessary. (p. 22)r Push and hold [PTT] to transmit.• The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit fre-quency (repeater input frequency).• If “OFF” appears, check the offset frequency and direction.t Release [PTT] to receive.y Push and hold [SQL] to check whether the other station’s trans-mit signal can be directly received or not.About reversed duplex modeWhen the reversed duplex mode is selected, the receive fre-quencies shifts. Each receive and transmit frequency are shownin the table below with the follow conditions; entered freq. : 145.00MHz, duplex direction : – (negative), frequency offset : 0.6 MHzReversed OFF ONRx frequency 145.30 MHz 144.70 MHzTx frequency 144.70 MHz 145.30 MHz
