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

1

This transceiver is capable of repeating signals originating from either the VHF or UHF band. For example, a signal received on the VHF band is retransmitted on the UHF band. Similarly, a signal received on the UHF band is retransmitted on the VHF band. You can choose Locked- band Repeater mode or Cross-band Repeater mode.

Note:

◆You cannot activate the Repeater function after switching ON the DTSS or Page, after selecting VHF/VHF or UHF/UHF mode, or while blanking a band display.

◆Activating the Repeater function switches OFF Automatic Band Change (A.B.C.) or Automatic Simplex Checker (ASC).
