so as to access the repeater input frequency. If your re-
peater uses a positive shift (instead of negative), press
the

key again; the “+” indicator will replace
the “–” indicator on the display. Set the transceiver’s
receiver to the repeater output (downlink) frequency.
Close the PTT switch and speak into the microphone.
You will observe that the transmitted frequency has
shifted according to the setting of the

jority of the repeaters your area, it may be set indepen-
dently for each band. To change the default repeater shift:

quency.
• When done, press and hold in the
[

key for one
second to save the new setting and exit to normal
operation.
