31Repeater OperationCommunicating Via the RepeaterThe transceiver includes an ARS (Automatic Repeater Shift) function which automatical-ly sets the repeater operation when the receiver is tuned to the repeater frequency.1. Set the downlink (output) frequency of the repeater.2. “ ” or “ ” and “TN” icons may automatically appearabove the frequency.3. Speak into the microphone while pressing and holdingthe PTT switch.Repeater Shift IconTone Encoder Iconz The reverse stateThe “reverse” state temporarily reverses the transmit and receive frequencies. Thisallows checking to find if direct communication with the other station is possible.1. Touch [F MW], then touch [REV].If [REV] is not displayed, touch [BACK ←] to display[REV] and touch it.• The transmit and receive frequencies are temporar-ily reversed (“reverse” state).• In the “reverse” state, the “ ” or “ ” blinks on thedisplay.2. Touch [F MW], then touch [REV] to exit from the “re-verse” state.• The repeater settings may be changed from the Set Mode.Set Mode [CONFIG] → [15 RPT SHIFT]: Allows setting the repeater shift direction.Set Mode [CONFIG] → [16 RPT SHIFT FREQ]: Allows changing the repeater shift offset.Set Mode [SIGNALING] → [12 TONE SQL FREQ]: Allows setting the tone encoder frequency.• The ARS function may be set to OFF in the Set Mode [CONFIG] → [14 RPT ARS].z Tone Calling (1750 Hz)If your transceiver is FT3DE (European version), press and hold in the MONI/T-CALLswitch (just below the PTT switch) to generates a 1750 Hz burst tone to access theEuropean repeater. The transmitter will automatically be activated, and a 1750 Hzaudio tone will be superimposed on the carrier. Once access to the repeater has beengained, you may release the switch, and use the switch for activating the transmitterthereafter. If you need to access the repeaters which requires a 1750 Hz burst tonefor access by the FT3DR (USA/Asian versions), you can set the switch to serve as a“Tone Call” switch instead. To change the configuration of this switch, use Set Mode[CONFIG] → [10 MONI/T-CALL].
