REPEATER OPERATION

[3] Separate Transmit Frequency Memories (“Odd Splits”)

All memory channels can store independent receive and transmit frequencies, to accommodate occasional non-standard offsets with greater frequency resolution than is available using the “standard” shift feature.

1.First store the receive (repeater output) frequency. In the VFO mode, tune the transceiver to the desired receive frequency. Now press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key on the front panel for one second.

2.Within five seconds of pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key, use the DIAL knob or microphone’s [UP]/[DWN] buttons to select the desired memory channel into which you wish to store this frequency pair.

3.Now press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily to store the receive frequency into the selected memory.

4.Next store the transmit (repeater input) frequency. Since you are still in the VFO mode, tune the transceiver to the desired transmit frequency.

5.Now press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second.

6.Press and hold in the PTT switch, and press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily while holding in the PTT switch. This will not cause transmission, but rather it will instruct the transceiver that you are programming a separate transmit frequency into memory.

When you have finished the above procedure, press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily. The channel number and repeater downlink frequency will appear on the display. If you press the PTT switch, you will observe the display changing to indicate the repeater’s uplink

frequency. Note also that the display shows “” in the upper left-hand corner; this indicates that an “odd” (non-standard) shift has been stored on this channel.
