REPEATER-3
TRANSMITTING A 1750 Hz TONE
Most repeaters in Europe require that a transceiver transmit a
1750 Hz tone. On a E type model, simply pressing Microphone
[CALL] causes it to transmit a 1750 Hz tone. It is also possible to
program [1750] on the front panel as a PF key for transmitting a
1750 Hz tone.
Note: The transceiver continuously transmits a 1750 Hz tone until you release
Microphone [CALL] or PF key(1750).
Some repeaters in Europe must receive continuous signals for a
certain period of time, following a 1750 Hz tone. This transceiver
is also capable of remaining in the transmit mode for 2 seconds
after transmitting a 1750 Hz tone.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 402.
2 Set the tone to ON or OFF.
Note: While remaining in the transmit mode, the transceiver does not
continuously transmit a 1750 Hz tone.
REVERSE FUNCTION
After setting a separate receive and transmit frequency, you
can exchange these frequencies using the Reverse function.
This allows you to manually check the strength of signals you
receive directly from other stations, while using a repeater. If
the station’s signal is strong, move to a simplex frequency to
continue the contact and free up the repeater.
Press [REV] to turn the Reverse function ON or OFF.
• When the Reverse function is ON, the icon will appear on the
display.
Note:
◆ If the transmit frequency is outside the allowable transmit frequency range
when using Reverse, pressing [PTT] will cause an error tone to sound and
transmission will be inhibited.
◆ If the receive frequency is outside the receive frequency range when using
Reverse, an error tone will sound and Reverse will not operate.
◆ The ARO (Automatic Repeater Offset) will not function when Reverse is
ON.
◆ You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.
AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECKER (ASC)
While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the strength
of signals you receive directly from the other stations. If the
station’s signal is strong enough to allow direct contact without a
repeater, the
icon blinks.
Press [REV] (1s) to turn the ASC ON.
• When the ASC is ON, the icon will appear on the display.
• While direct contact is possible, without the use of a repeater, the
icon will begin blinking.
• To exit ASC, press [REV].
Note:
◆ Pressing [PTT] will cause the
icon to stop blinking.
◆ ASC does not function if you are using simplex operation.
◆ ASC does not function while scanning.
◆ Activating ASC while using Reverse will switch the Reverse function OFF.
◆ If you recall a Memory channel or the Call channel, and those channels are
set up with the Reverse function switched ON, the ASC will switch OFF.
◆ You cannot use ASC when the built-in TNC is turned ON.
◆ ASC causes received signals to be momentarily intermitted every 3
seconds.
TONE FREQUENCY ID
This function scans through all tone frequencies to identify the
incoming tone frequency on a received signal. You can use this
function to fi nd which tone frequency is required by your local
repeater.
1 Press [TONE] to switch the Tone function ON.
• The icon appears on the display.
2 Press [F], [T.SEL] (1s) to run the Tone Frequency ID scan.
• The icon blinks and SCAN appears on the display.
• To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control clockwise
(upward scan) or counterclockwise (downward scan).
• To quit the function, press [ESC].
• When the tone frequency is identifi ed, the identifi ed frequency
appears on the display and blinks. Press any key other than
the Tuning control while the identifi ed frequency is blinking, to
resume scanning.
3 Press the Tuning control to program the identifi ed frequency
in place of the currently set tone frequency.
• The Tone function will remain ON. You can press [TONE] to
switch the Tone function OFF.
• Press [ESC] if you do not want to program the identifi ed
frequency.
