Generally they 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 communications 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 allow it to access. For details, consult your local repeater reference.

Select an offset frequency. (Only when programming odd-split repeater frequencies) Activate the Tone function. (If necessary) Select a tone frequency.

PROGRAMMING OFFSET First select band A or B by pressing [A/B]. Then, if necessary, press [F], [A/B] to recall the sub-band. ■ Selecting Offset Direction Select whether the transmit frequency will be higher (+) or lower (–) than the receive frequency. Press [F], [MHz] to switch the offset direction. • “+” or “–” appears to indicate which offset direction is selected. STA CON PACKET96 BCONDUP 7 9 • To program –7.6 MHz offset on the TH-D7E (UHF only), repeatedly press [F], [MHz] until “ ” appears. If the offset transmit frequency falls outside the allowable range, transmitting is inhibited. Use one of the following methods to bring the transmit frequency within the band limits: • Move the receive frequency further inside the band. • Change the offset direction. Note: While using an odd-split memory channel or transmitting, you cannot change the offset direction. 5 ■ Selecting Offset Frequency To access a repeater which requires an odd-split frequency pair, change the offset frequency from the default which is used by most repeaters. The default offset frequency on the VHF band is 600 kHz no matter which market version; the default on the UHF band is 5 MHz (TH-D7A) or 1.6 MHz (TH-D7E). 1 Press [F], [5] to select “F–5 (OFFSET)”. 2 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select the appropriate offset frequency. • The selectable range is from 0.00 MHz to 29.95 MHz in steps of 50 kHz. 3 Press [OK] to complete the setting. TH-D7E Only: If you have selected “ ” for the offset direction, you cannot change the default (7.6 MHz). Note: After changing the offset frequency, the new offset frequency will also be used by Automatic Repeater Offset. 5 STA CON PACKET96 BCONDUP 7 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 21
