52Repeater OperationRepeater OperationRepeater OperationCommunicating Via the RepeaterThe transceiver includes an ARS (Automatic RepeaterShift) function which enables repeater operationautomatically when setting the receiver to therepeater frequency.1 Set the receiver frequency to the repeaterfrequency.“ ” or “ ” appears on the left side of the frequencywhereas “TN” and the tone frequency appear on theright side of the frequency.2 Begin transmitting by pressing and holding . Thetransmitter will automatically be set to the programmedoffset frequency and CTCSS tone.Tips• Touching [F MW] followed by [REV] enters the “reverse” state where the transmission frequency andthe receive frequency are temporarily reversed. This allows checking to find if direct communicationwith the remote station is possible.• In the “reverse” state, “ ” blinks on the LCD.• Touching [F MW] followed by [REV] again exits from the “reverse” state.• Press and hold for over one second to enter Set mode, then configure the following repeatersettings for more convenient use.[CONFIG] → [14 RPT ARS]: Deactivates the ARS function.[CONFIG] → [15 RPT SHIFT]: Allows setting the repeater shift direction.[CONFIG] → [16 RPT SHIFT FREQ]: Allows changing the repeater shift offset
