Vertex Standard Comprehensive Guide to FTM-10R Repeater Operation and Features

REPEATER OPERATION

The FTM-10Rincludes a host of convenient features that makes operation on amateur repeaters both efficient and enjoyable.

The FTM-10Roffers three methods of setting up split-frequency operation on repeaters: Manual selection of preset repeater shifts (Standard Repeater Shift);

Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS), providing automatic activation of repeater shifts while operating within designated repeater frequency subbands.

Independently stored transmit and receive frequencies (typically not corresponding to es- tablished repeater frequency shifts).

Standard Repeater Shift

To activate the standard shift manually, you may use the Menu mode:

1.	Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second to activate the Menu mode.
2.	Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu Item “F25 RPT
	MODE”.
3.	Press the	key to enable selection of this Menu Item.

4.Rotate the DIAL knob to select desired shift direction (RPTR-, RPTR+, or RPTR OFF).

5.Press the [VOL/SEL] key momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal op- eration.

The repeater offset is fixed to 600 kHz on the 144 MHz band and 5 MHz on the 430 MHz band from the factory. You can change the offset using the following procedure, if needed for vacation travel or other purposes:

1.	Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second to activate the Menu mode.
2.	Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu Item “F26 RPT SFT”.
3.	Press the	key to enable selection of this Menu Item.
4.	Rotate the DIAL knob to set the desired offset. Note that
	the resolution of the “Standard” repeater shift is to the near-
	est 50 kHz multiple.
5.	Press the [VOL/SEL] key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

Note: Do not use this procedure for programming of an “odd split” type repeater pair! The process for programming odd splits is shown on page 42.
