15 REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATIONS15-2■ FM Repeater operationA repeater receives transmitted signals and retransmitsthem on a different frequency. The transmit frequencyis shifted from the receive frequency by a preset fre-quency offset.In duplex operation, the transceiver’s frequency offsetis set to the same as that of the repeater. (p. 16-16)Push [V/MHz]q to select the VFO mode.Push [MODE]w several times to select the FMmode.Rotate [DIAL] to set the receive frequency (repeatereoutput frequency).• The frequency changes according to the preset tuningsteps. See the page 5-6 for details.Only USA and Korean versions have an AutoRepeater function:When the function is turned ON, steps r and tare not necessary.*(Default for USA version : ON (DUP))(Default for Korean version : ON)The Auto Repeater function can be turned OFF inthe Auto Repeater item of the MENU screen.(MENU > Function > Auto Repeater)See page 16-66 for details.Set the duplex offset direction. (p. 15-5)r• “DUP–” or “DUP+” appears.• The frequency offset can be set in the “Offset Freq”screen. (p. 15-4)(MENU > DUP/TONE... > Offset Freq)Push [QUICK]t , and push D-pad() to select“TONE,” and then push D-pad(Ent).D-pad(�)(Ent)y Push D-pad() to select “TONE,” and then push D-pad(Ent).• “TONE” appears.• The tone frequency can be set in the “Repeater Tone”screen. 88.5 Hz is set by default. (p. 16-16)(MENU > DUP/TONE... > Repeater Tone)Communicate in the normal way.u* For the USA version, the Auto repeater function turns ONthe duplex operation only. To turn ON the repeater tone, youshould manually set as step t, or select “ON (DUP, TONE)”in the Auto Repeater item of the MENU screen.
