OPERATING THROUGH REPEATERS
Repeaters are often installed and maintained by radio clubs, sometimes with the cooperation of local businesses involved
in the communications industry.
Compared to simplex communication, you can usually
transmit over much greater distances by using a
repeater. Repeaters are typically located on mountain
tops or other elevated locations. They generally operate
at higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical
station. This combination of elevation and high ERP
allows communications over considerable distances.
TX: 144.725 MHz
TX tone: 88.5 Hz
RX: 145.325 MHz
TX: 144.725 MHz
TX tone: 88.5 Hz
RX: 145.325 MHz
REPEATER ACCESS
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 in
order to gain access to the repeater. For details, consult
your local repeater reference.
Q Selecting an Offset Direction
The offset direction allows your transmit frequency to
be higher (+) or lower (–) than the receive frequency.
1 Select your desired band (A or B).
2 Press [F], [MHz] to select an offset direction.
•Each time you press [F], [MHz], the offset direction
changes as follows:
Simplex operation
•If you are using a TH-D72E, when operating on
the 430 MHz band, the offset direction changes as
follows:

Simplex operation
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.
° + ° – ° Simplex operation
° + ° – ° = (–7.6 MHz) °
Q Selecting an Offset Frequency
The offset frequency is the value which the transmit
frequency will be offset from the receive frequency.

CTCSS/ DCS/ CROSS TONE
CTCSS
You may sometimes want to hear calls only from specific persons. The Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System
(CTCSS) allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls from other persons who are using the same frequency. To do
so, select the same CTCSS tone as selected by the other persons in your group. A CTCSS tone is subaudible and is
selectable from among 42 tone frequencies.
DCS
Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) is another application which allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls. It functions the
same way as CTCSS. The only differences are the encode/ decode method and the number of selectable codes. For
DCS, you can select from 104 different codes.
Note: CTCSS/ DCS does not cause your conversation to be private. It only relieves you from listening to unwanted conversations.
