Repeaters, which are often installed and maintained
by radio clubs, are usually located on mountain tops
or other elevated locations. They generally operate at
higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical
station. This combination of elevation and high ERP
allows communications over much greater distances than
communicating without using repeaters.
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 to be accessed. For details, consult your
6
local repeater reference.

OFFSET PROGRAMMING FLOW
Select a receive frequency.
1
Select an offset direction.
2
Select an offset frequency

(only when programming odd-split
repeater frequencies).
Activate the Tone function

If you store all the above data in a Memory Channel, you
will not need to reprogram the parameters every time.
