The conventional repeater shift used on 29 MHz is 100 kHz, while on the 50 MHz band the shift may vary between 500 kHz and 1.7 MHz (or more). To program the proper repeater shift, use Menu items “073 F3E 28 RPT” (28 MHz) and “074 F3E 50 RPT” (50 MHz), as appropriate.
You may also use “Tone Squelch” whereby your receiver will be kept silent until an incoming signal bearing a matching CTCSS tone is receiver. Your receiver’s squelch will then open in response to the reception of the required tone.
