■Duplex operation

Duplex communication uses 2 different frequencies for trans- mitting and receiving. Generally, duplex is used in communi- cation through a repeater, some utility communications, etc.

During duplex operation, the transmit station frequency is shifted from the receive station frequency by the offset fre- quency. Repeater information (offset frequency and shift di- rection) can be programmed into memory channels. (p. 26)

DSetting

qSet the receive station frequency (repeater output frequency). wPush [8 SET] for 1 sec. to enter set mode.

eRotate [R-DIAL]to select “SET EXPAND,” then push [8 SET].

yRotate [R-DIAL]to set the desired offset frequency within 0.00000–159.99999 MHz range, then push [8 SET].

•The tuning step, selected in VFO mode, is used for setting.

•Push [VFO MHz] for 1 sec. then rotate [R-DIAL]to change the frequency in 1 MHz steps, or push for 1 sec. again then rotate [R-DIAL]to change the frequency in 10 MHz steps. (Each push for 1 sec. toggles 1 MHz or 10 MHz tuning steps.)
