245REPEATER OPERATION235 REPEATER OPERATION Auto repeaterfunction (USA version only)The USA version automatically activates the repeater settings (du-plex, ON/OFF, duplex direction, tone encoder ON/OFF) when theoperating frequency falls within or outside of the general repeateroutput frequency range. The offset and repeater tone frequenciesare not changed by the auto repeater function, reset these fre-quencies, if necessary.q While pushing [Y]+[Z], turn the power ON to enter INITIAL SETMODE.w Push [Y]/[Z] several times until“RPt.” appears.e Rotate [VOL] to select the desiredcondition.• “OF”—the auto repeater function isturned OFF;“R1”—the auto repeater function acti-vates for duplex only;“R2”—the auto repeater function acti-vates for duplex and tone.r Push [#•ENT ] to exit INITIAL SETMODE.USING INITIAL SET MODEFrequency range and offset directionFREQUENCY RANGE DUPLEX DIRECTION145.200–145.495 MHz “–” appears146.610–146.995 MHz147.000–147.395 MHz “+” appearsSKIPAOLMMRF TX755025DSKIPAOLMMRF TX755025DSKIPAOLMMRF TX755025D✔ ConvenientTone scan function: When you don’t know the subaudible toneused for a repeater, the tone scan is convenient for detecting thetone frequency.Push [3•T.SCAN] after pushing [A•FUNC] to start the tone scan.• Push [D•CLR] to cancel the scan.• When the wanted tone frequency is detected, the scan pauses.DD Tone informationSome repeaters require a tone to be accessed.DTMF TONESWhile pushing [PTT], push the desired DTMF keys (0–9, A–F) totransmit DTMF tones.• The transceiver has 5 DTMF memory channels (p. 28).1750 Hz TONEWhile pushing [PTT], push [Y] or [Z] for 1 to 2 sec. to transmits1750 Hz tone signal.
