frequency. You will soon learn the rhythm of the
DX station and the pileup. The more profi cient you
become at using this function, the more DX stations
you will contact.
Note:
◆ TF-SET is disabled while transmitting.
◆ You can change the transmission frequency even when the
Frequency lock function is ON.
◆ An RIT offset frequency is not added; however, an XIT offset
frequency is added to the transmit frequency during TF-SET.
◆ The TF-SET function does not operate in Simplex mode.
However, when the XIT function is ON and the RIT function
is OFF, the TF-SET function will operate in Simplex mode. In
this situation, you can set the XIT frequency while operating
TF-SET by rotating the Tuning knob or pressing the MIC [UP]
/ MIC [DOWN] keys.
SHIFTABLE RX FREQUENCY DURING SPLIT
TRANSMISSION
As the factory default setting, when rotating the Tuning
knob during split transmission, the transmit frequency
will change. By following the procedures below, when
rotating the Tuning knob during split transmission, you
can change the receive frequency.
1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or
turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 20.
2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “on”
3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
• When you switch the transceiver ON while this
function is set to ON, the decimal point at the
right end digit of the main display fl ashes for
approximately 2 seconds after the Power On
message is displayed.
FM REPEATER OPERATION
Most Amateur radio voice repeaters use a separate
reception and transmission frequency. The
transmission frequency may be higher or lower than
the reception frequency. In addition, some repeaters
may require the transceiver to transmit a subtone
before the repeater can be used.
Compared to simplex communication, you can
usually transmit over much greater distances by
using a repeater. Repeaters are typically located
on a mountain top or other elevated location. Often
they operate at higher ERP (Effective Radiated
Power) than a typical station. This combination of
elevation and high ERP allows communications over
considerable distances.
HF/ 6 m band repeaters usually operate in the
29 MHz FM sub-band and 51-54 MHz band. This
special service combines the advantages of FM
operation, good fi delity with noise and interference
immunity, with the excitement of HF DX (long
distance) communications. Even on a quiet day,
10 m FM provides reliable around-town
communications with the potential for sudden DX from
across the country or around the world.
Note:
◆ When programming 2 separate frequencies using 2 VFOs,
be sure to select FM mode on both VFOs.
◆ When operating through a repeater, over deviation caused
by speaking too loudly into the microphone can cause your
signal to “talk-off” (break up) through the repeater.

1 Press [A/B (A=B)] to select VFO A or VFO B.
• “ ” or “ ” appears to show which VFO is
selected.
2 Turn the Tuning control or the MULTI/CH control to
select the reception frequency.
3 Press [FM/AM (FM-N)] to select FM mode.
4 Press and hold [A/B (A=B)] to duplicate the
frequencies and other data to the other VFO.
5 Turn the Tuning control or the MULTI/CH control to
select the transmission frequency.
6 Press [AGC/T (SEL] to turn the Tone function ON if
the repeater requires a subtone.
• “

• Refer to “Selecting a Tone Frequency” for more
details on the subtone {page 26}.
• To quit the Subtone function, press [AGC/T (SEL)]
twice.
7 Press [SPLIT].

8 Press [A/B (A=B)] to return to the original
reception frequency.
9 Press Mic [PTT] to transmit.
• The VFO changes to the other VFO to transmit.
• Each time you press [A/B (A=B)], the reception
and transmission frequencies are swapped.
10 Press [SPLIT] to quit split-frequency operation.
• “
