repeAter AcceSS
Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency pair with
a standard or non-standard offset (odd-split). In addition, some
repeaters must receive a tone from the transceiver in order to gain
access to the repeater. For details, consult your local repeater
reference.
Selecting an Offset Direction
The offset direction allows your transmit frequency to be higher (+)
or lower (–) than the receive frequency.
Press
[F]
,
[8]
to select an offset direction.
Continually press
[F]
,
[8]
to toggle the functions as follows: “+”
>> “–” >> OFF.
The “
” or “ ” icon appears, indicating which offset direction
is selected.
If the offset transmission frequency falls outside the allowable
range, transmission is inhibited. In this case, adjust the
reception frequency so that the transmission frequency is
within the band limits.
Note:
While using an odd-split memory channel or transmitting,
you cannot change the offset direction.
