Duplex operation via Repeaters

Operation

This feature allows to use local repeater stations that are designed to automatically re-transmit your broadcast over a large area thus giving you increased range.

Repeaters stations are privately operated radio systems installed throughout Australia.

You can see a list of repeater sites by following this link to our website (note this list is always being updated) http://www.oricom.com.au/support/repeater or visit http://www.tropinet.com/uhf-repeaters/

For example, if you wish to access a repeater station in your area which operates on channel 2 you only need to set the Duplex access on this Channel.

So, if you are in the range of a local repeater which transmits on channel 2, after setting your radio to allow access of the repeater on that channel, you will select channel 2 as normal, but during transmit operation your radio will automatically transmit to the repeater on channel 32.
