TRANSMITTING A 1750 Hz TONE
Most repeaters in Europe require that a transceiver transmit a 1750 Hz tone.
By turning the 1750 Hz tone menu item ON, the transceiver will automatically
transmit the 1750 Hz tone for 2 seconds whenever you transmit.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 402 (1750.HD) {page 20}.
2 Set the tone to ON or OFF.
When set to ON, the 1750 Hz tone will transmit. When set to OFF, the tone will not
be transmitted.
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:
u 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.
u If the receive frequency is outside the receive frequency range when using Reverse, an error
tone will sound and Reverse will not operate.
u The ARO (Automatic Repeater Offset) will not function when Reverse is ON.
u 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.
