REPEATER OPERATION

Repeater stations, usually located on mountaintops or other high locations, provide a dra- matic extension of the communication range for low-powered hand-held or mobile trans- ceivers. The VX-177includes a number of features which make repeater operation simple and enjoyable.

REPEATER SHIFTS

The VX-177has been configured, at the factory, with the repeater shift set to 1.6 MHz, 7.6 MHz, or 5 MHz (USA version).

Depending on the part of the band in which you are operating, the repeater shift may be either downward (–) or upward (+), and one of these icons will appear at the top of the LCD when repeater shifts have been enabled.

AUTOMATIC REPEATER SHIFT (ARS)

The VX-177provides a convenient Automatic Repeater Shift feature, which causes the appropriate repeater shift to be applied automatically whenever you tune into the desig- nated repeater sub-bands in your country. These sub-bands are shown below.

If the ARS feature does not appear to be working, you may have accidentally disabled it.

To re-enable ARS:

1. Press the [F] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode.

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 4: ARS. 3. Press the [F] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Item. 4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “ARS. ON.” 5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to

save the new setting and return to normal operation.
