REVERSE FUNCTION

When used while monitoring a repeater, the Reverse function allows you to manually check the signal strength of a station accessing the repeater. If the station’s signal is strong, it is best to move to a simplex frequency to continue the contact and free up the repeater.

Press [REV] to toggle the Reverse function ON or OFF.

•The receive frequency and the transmit frequency are exchanged.

•"R" appears when the function is ON.

Note:

◆If pressing [REV] places the transmit frequency outside the allowable transmit frequency range, an error beep sounds when [PTT] is pressed, and transmission is inhibited.

◆If reversal would place the receive frequency outside the receive frequency range, an error beep sounds when [REV] is pressed. No reversal occurs.

◆Automatic Repeater Offset does not function while Reverse is ON.

◆You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.

■Automatic Simplex Checker (ASC)

This function automatically monitors the strength of the signal you are receiving from the repeater. If the signal strength is high enough to allow direct contact without a repeater, an indicator on the display begins blinking.

This alerts you to move off to a private frequency and release the repeater for other users.

1 Press [REV] (1 s) to switch the function ON.

• The ASC indicator appears.

•While direct contact is possible, the ASC indicator blinks.

2To cancel ASC, press [REV].

Note:

◆When direct contact becomes impossible, the ASC indicator stops blinking.

◆ASC does not function if your transmit and receive frequencies are the same (simplex operation).

◆ASC does not function while scanning.

◆If you recall a memory channel or the Call channel that contains Reverse ON status, ASC is switched OFF.
