OPERATING THROUGH REPEATERS

Repeaters, which are often installed and maintained by radio clubs, are usually located on mountain tops or other elevated locations. Generally they operate at higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical station. This combination of elevation and high ERP allows communications over much greater distances than communications without using repeaters.

Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency pair with a standard or non-standard offset (odd-split). In addition, some repeaters must receive a tone from the transceiver to allow it to access. For details, consult your local repeater reference.

Offset Programming Flow

qSelect a band.

wSelect a receive frequency.

eSelect an offset direction.

rSelect an offset frequency.

(Only when programming odd-split repeater frequencies)

tActivate the Tone function. (If necessary)

ySelect a tone frequency. (If necessary)

TX: 144.725 MHz

TX tone: 88.5 Hz

RX: 145.325 MHz

TX: 144.725 MHz

TX tone: 88.5 Hz

RX: 145.325 MHz

If you store the above data in a memory channel, you need not reprogram every time. See “MEMORY CHANNELS” {page 35}.
