To swap the input and output frequencies, press
FUNC+PTT
. For
example, if you have set the radio to repeater operation on
146.940 with a positive offset, the radio would normally receive
on 146.94 and transmit on 146.340 MHz. After you press
146.940 with a positive offset, the radio would normally receive
on 146.94 and transmit on 146.340 MHz. After you press
FUNC
+
PTT,
the radio will receive on 146.340 and transmit on
146.940.
This feature is useful if you want to determine whether you are
close enough to another station to communicate on a simplex fre-
quency. While the other station is transmitting, reverse the fre-
quencies. If you can still hear the other station, you are hearing
their signal directly and you do not need to use the repeater.
