Repeater Access

Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency pair with

astandard or non-standard offset (odd-split). In addition, some repeaters must receive a tone from the transceiver in order to gain access to the repeater. For details, consult your local repeater reference.

■Selecting an Offset Direction

The offset direction allows your transmit frequency to be higher (+) or lower (–) than the receive frequency.

Press [F], [8] to select an offset direction.

•Continually press [F], [8] to toggle the functions as follows: “+” >> “–” >> OFF.

•The “ ” or “ ” icon appears, indicating which offset direction is selected.

If the offset transmission frequency falls outside the allowable range, transmission is inhibited. In this case, adjust the reception frequency so that the transmission frequency is within the band limits.

Note: While using an odd-split memory channel or transmitting, you cannot change the offset direction.
