CROSS-BAND/ LOCKED-BAND OPERATION (K TYPE MODELS ONLY)
This transceiver is capable of receiving signals on one band and retransmitting
signals on the other band. This function repeats signals originating from one
band, using the other band. For example, a signal received on band A (VHF) is
retransmitted on band B (UHF). Similarly, a signal received on band B (UHF) is
retransmitted on band A (VHF).
Locked-band Repeater: The transceiver uses the same band to receive or
transmit a signal. You can set either the A band (A-TX) or B band (B-TX) as the
transmit band.
Cross-band Repeater: If receiving a signal on the TX band, the transceiver
switches the current RX only band to the TX band. This is useful when joining
in a group talk. Participants in a group talk need to set a receive and transmit
frequency on different bands so as not to miss any conversation within the group.
