REPEATER FUNCTION (U.S.A./ CANADA ONL Y)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
other 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”.
