Reverse Function
After setting a separate receive and transmit frequency, you can exchange these frequencies using the Reverse function. This allows you to manually check the strength of signals you receive directly from other stations, while using a repeater. If the station’s signal
is strong, move to a simplex frequency to continue the contact and free up the repeater.
Press [F], [7] to turn the Reverse function ON or OFF.
•When the Reverse function is ON, the “ ” icon will appear on the display.
Note:
◆If the transmit frequency is outside the allowable transmit frequency range when using Reverse, pressing [PTT] will cause an error tone to sound and transmission will be inhibited.
◆If the receive frequency is outside the receive frequency range when using Reverse, an error tone will sound and Reverse will not operate.
◆The ARO (Automatic Repeater Offset) will not function when Reverse is ON.
◆You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.
Automatic Simplex Checker (ASC)
While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the strength of signals you receive directly from the other stations.
Press [7] (1s) to turn the ASC function ON or OFF.
•When the ASC is ON, the “
” icon will appear on the display.
