■ 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 indipendent frequencies for each re-
ceiver and transmitter.
A subaudible tone may also be required to access a repeater

Reference amateur radio hand books and local ham maga-
zines for details of local repeaters such as repeater input/out-
put frequencies and locations.

• The IC-2720H USA version has the auto repeater function. Thus the

steps 3 and 4 may not be necessary, depending on the setting.

• Repeater settings can be stored into a memory channel. 

Step 3:
Set the duplex (shifting) direction (– duplex or +duplex).
- Set the offset frequency (shifting value), if required.

Step 4:
Set the subaudible tone (repeater tone) encoder function ON.
- Set the subaudible tone frequency, if required.

Step 1:
Set the desired band to operate the repeater.

Step 2:
Set the desired receive frequency (repeater output frequency).

Receives the 444.540 MHz signal 
and the detected audio signals are 
transmitted on 449.540 MHz simul-
taneously.

Station A:
Tx: 444.540 MHz
Rx: 449.540 MHz

Station B:
Tx: 444.540 MHz
Rx: 449.540 MHz
