Kenwood TM-D700 E instruction manual Repeater Function U.S.A./ Canada only

REPEATER FUNCTION (U.S.A./ CANADA ONLY)

This transceiver is capable of receiving signals on one band and retransmitting signals on the other band. This function repeats signals originating from one band, using the other band. For example, a signal received on band A (VHF) is retransmitted on band B (UHF). Similarly, a signal received on band B (UHF) is retransmitted on band A (VHF).

Access Menu 1–7–6 (REPEATER) and select Locked- band Repeater or Cross-band Repeater. The default is “OFF”.

•“PTT” blinks when in the Locked-band or Cross-band Repeater mode.

Locked-band Repeater

The transceiver always uses the same band to receive or transmit a signal as a repeater. Before accessing Menu 1–7–6, select one band as the TX band and the

18other band as the control band. Cross-band Repeater

If receiving a signal on the TX band, the transceiver switches the current RX only band to the TX band. Before accessing Menu 1–7–6, select the same band as the TX and control bands.

If necessary, you can cause this transceiver to remain in the transmit mode for 500 ms after signals drop. Access Menu 1–7–5 (REPEATER HOLD) and select “ON”.
