BASIC OPERATION N One-touch PTT function The PTT switch can be operated as a one-touch PTT switch (each push toggles between transmit/receive). Using this function you can transmit without pushing and holding the PTT switch. To prevent accidental, continuous transmissions with this function, the transceiver has a time-out timer. See p. 101 for details. PTT-M z Push [FUNC] then [PRIO 3(PTT-M)] to turn the one-touch PTT function ON. • The activity indicator lights green.
3 REPEATER OPERATION N General Repeaters allow you to extend the operational range of your radio because a repeater has much higher output power than the typical transceiver. Normally, a repeater has independent frequencies for each receiver and transmitter. A subaudible tone may also be required to access a repeater. Reference amateur radio handbooks and local ham magazines for details of local repeaters such as repeater input/output frequencies and locations. Repeater example; Receives the 444.
REPEATER OPERATION 3 N Accessing a repeater q Set the receive frequency (repeater output frequency). (pgs. 15–17) w Push and hold [DUP](LOW) for 1 sec. to enter the duplex setting condition. e Rotate [DIAL] to select minus duplex or plus duplex. • “DUP–” or “DUP” appears to indicate the transmit frequency for minus shift or plus shift, respectively. • When the auto repeater function is turned ON (available for the USA version only), steps w to t are not necessary.

(p. 83) • Push [DTMF-S] again to return the keypad to normal function control. The microphone has 1750 Hz tone capability, used for ring tone when calling, etc. TONE-1 z Push [FUNC].
REPEATER OPERATION 3 N Offset frequency When communicating through a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by an amount determined by the offset frequency. Independent offset frequencies can be set for each operating frequency band. q Select the desired mode/channel which you wish to set the offset frequency for, such as VFO mode or memory/call channel. • The offset frequency is independently programmed into each mode, band or channel. w Enter “OFFSET” in DUP.T menu.
3 REPEATER OPERATION N Auto repeater USA/KOREAN versions only The USA and Korean versions automatically use standard repeater settings (duplex ON/OFF, duplex direction, tone encoder ON/OFF) when the operating frequency falls within or outside of the general repeater output frequency range. The offset and repeater tone frequencies are not changed by the auto repeater function. Reset these frequencies, if necessary. q Enter “AUTORP” in FUNC set mode (SET). MENU ¶ SET ¶ FUNC ¶ AUTORP (p.
