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

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.

■ 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], [SHIFT] to select an offset direction.

• Each time you press [SHIFT], the offset direction changes as

follows:

Simplex operation

• If you are using an E type transceiver, when operating on the

430 MHz band, the offset direction changes as follows:

Simplex operation

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) ➡ Simplex

■ Selecting an Offset Frequency

The offset frequency is the value which the transmit

frequency will be offset from the receive frequency. The default offset frequency on the 144 MHz band is 600 kHz for all type versions. The default on the 430/440 MHz band is 5 MHz.

1 Select your desired band (A or B).

2 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 400.

3 Set the appropriate offset frequency value.

• The selectable range is from 00.00 MHz to 29.95 MHz, in steps of 50 kHz.

Note: After changing the offset frequency, the new offset frequency will also be used by Automatic Repeater Offset.

■ Activating the Tone Function

To turn the Tone function on:

1 Select your desired band (A or B).

2 Press [TONE] to turn the Tone function ON.

• Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows:

TRANSMITTING A 1750 Hz TONE

Most repeaters in Europe require that a transceiver transmit a 1750 Hz tone. On a E type model, simply pressing Microphone [CALL] causes it to transmit a 1750 Hz tone. It is also possible to program [1750] on the front panel as a PF key for transmitting a 1750 Hz tone.

Note: The transceiver continuously transmits a 1750 Hz tone until you release Microphone [CALL] or PF key(1750).

Some repeaters in Europe must receive continuous signals for a certain period of time, following a 1750 Hz tone. This transceiver is also capable of remaining in the transmit mode for 2 seconds after transmitting a 1750 Hz tone.

1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 402.

2 Set the tone to ON or OFF.

Note: While remaining in the transmit mode, the transceiver does not

continuously transmit a 1750 Hz tone.

REVERSE FUNCTION

◆ Pressing [PTT] will cause the

◆ ASC does not function if you are using simplex operation.

◆ ASC does not function while scanning.

◆ Activating ASC while using Reverse will switch the Reverse function OFF.

◆ If you recall a Memory channel or the Call channel, and those channels are

set up with the Reverse function switched ON, the ASC will switch OFF.

◆ You cannot use ASC when the built-in TNC is turned ON.

◆ ASC causes received signals to be momentarily intermitted every 3

seconds.

icon to stop blinking.

TONE FREQUENCY ID

This function scans through all tone frequencies to identify the incoming tone frequency on a received signal. You can use this function to ﬁ nd which tone frequency is required by your local repeater.

1 Press [TONE] to switch the Tone function ON.

• The icon appears on the display.

2 Press [F], [T.SEL] (1s) to run the Tone Frequency ID scan.

• The icon blinks and SCAN appears on the display.

After setting a separate receive and transmit frequency, you can exchange these frequencies using the Reverse function. This allows you to manually check the strength of signals you receive directly from other stations, while using a repeater. If the station’s signal is strong, move to a simplex frequency to continue the contact and free up the repeater.

Press [REV] to turn the Reverse function ON or OFF.

• When the Reverse function is ON, the icon will appear on the display.

Note:

◆ If the transmit frequency is outside the allowable transmit frequency range when using Reverse, pressing [PTT] will cause an error tone to sound and transmission will be inhibited.

◆ If the receive frequency is outside the receive frequency range when using Reverse, an error tone will sound and Reverse will not operate.

◆ The ARO (Automatic Repeater Offset) will not function when Reverse is ON.

◆ You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.

AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECKER (ASC)

While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the strength of signals you receive directly from the other stations. If the station’s signal is strong enough to allow direct contact without a repeater, the

Press [REV] (1s) to turn the ASC ON.

icon blinks.

• To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control clockwise (upward scan) or counterclockwise (downward scan).

• To quit the function, press [ESC].

• When the tone frequency is identiﬁ ed, the identiﬁ ed frequency appears on the display and blinks. Press any key other than the Tuning control while the identiﬁ ed frequency is blinking, to resume scanning.

MEMORY CHANNELS

In Memory channels, you can store frequencies and related data that you often use. Then you need not reprogram the data every time. You can quickly recall a programmed channel by simple operation. A total of 1000 Memory channels are available for bands A and B.

SIMPLEX & REPEATER OR ODD-SPLIT MEMORY CHANNEL?

You can use each memory channel as a simplex & repeater channel or as an odd-split channel. Store only one frequency to use as a simplex & repeater channel or two separate frequencies to use as an odd-split channel. Select either application for each channel depending on the operations you have in mind.

Simplex & repeater channels allow:

• Simplex frequency operation

• Repeater operation with a standard offset (if an offset direction is stored)

Odd-split channels allow:

• Repeater operation with a non-standard offset

The data listed below can be stored in each Memory channel:

PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY (PM)

Programmable Memory (PM) stores virtually all settings currently set on the transceiver. This transceiver provides 5 PM channels to store 5 sets of transceiver conﬁ gurations. Later, you can quickly recall any one of these channels, depending on the operations you have in mind or the operating environment.

The following programmable settings cannot be stored:

• Memory name

• Memory channel lockout

• Channel Display mode

• Locked-band/ Cross-band Repeater ON/OFF

• Repeater mode

• Repeater hold

• Repeater ID transmit

• Registered repeater ID

• Wireless remote control

• Answer back

• Remote control ID

• Key lock

• Power on password

• Memory channel/ Call channel/ Program scan memory

• Weather channel

• DTMF memory

• EchoLink memory

• COM port speed

• PC port speed

• Microphone sensitivity

• 10 MHz mode

• Input/output level (DATA terminal)

• SQC data output logic

TM-D710GA only

Can be set only by using the MCP-6A software.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES

The following are examples of how you might use Programmable Memory. These examples may not represent applications useful to you, but you will understand the ﬂ exibility of this function.

Situation: You share your transceiver with other members in your family or club. However, each individual has personal preferences for how they like to set various functions. You have to keep changing many settings each time you use the transceiver.

Solution: Because 5 PM channels are available, up to 5 persons can separately program the transceiver and store their customized environment. Then each person can quickly change to his or her favorite settings, simply by recalling a PM channel. It is too much trouble to change back the settings after somebody else has reconﬁ gured them. So this application may avoid having a feature-rich transceiver but never using many useful features.

Situation: While operating mobile on the way to work every morning, you prefer a silent transceiver that does not interrupt the morning calm. In addition, you feel that a bright display is useless in the sunlight. At night when driving home, you realize the Beep function truly does serve a purpose and you acknowledge it is nice to see a bright display after dark.

Solution: In 2 PM channels, store the same operating data such as frequency, offset, tone, etc, and store different settings for the Display brightness and Beep functions. Then you can quickly recall the best settings for day or night operation.

Situation: You cannot ﬁ gure out how to exit the current transceiver mode.

Solution: Simply recall PM channel 1, which contains an exact copy of the transceiver default environment. You will not lose the contents of any memory channels.

SIGNALING-3

DUAL TONE MULTI-FREQUENCY (DTMF)

The keys on the microphone keypad function as DTMF keys; the 12 keys found on a push-button telephone plus 4 additional keys (A, B, C, D). This transceiver provides 10 dedicated memory channels. You can store a DTMF code with up to 16 digits.

Some repeaters in the U.S.A. and Canada offer a service called Autopatch. You can access the public telephone network via such a repeater by sending DTMF tones. For further information, consult your local repeater reference.

MANUAL DIALING

Manual Dialing requires only two steps to send DTMF tones.

1 Press and hold the microphone [PTT].

2 Press the keys in sequence on the keypad to send DTMF

tones.

• The corresponding DTMF tones are transmitted.

• If the DTMF Hold function is activated, you need not hold down [PTT] while pressing keys. After transmitting the ﬁ rst tone (by pressing [PTT] and the ﬁ rst key), pressing additional keys will keep the transceiver in transmit mode for 2 seconds.
