When the Dual Channel Monitor function is activated, the radio will

Duplex operation via Repeaters
This feature allows to use local repeater stations that are designed
to automatically re-transmit your broadcast over a large area thus
giving you increased range.
Repeaters stations are privately operated radio systems installed
throughout Australia.
For example, if you wish to access a repeater station in your area
which operates on channel 2 you only need to set the Duplex
access on this Channel.
So, if you are in the range of a local repeater which transmits on
channel 2, after setting your radio to allow access of the repeater
on that channel, you will select channel 2 as normal, but during
transmit operation your radio will automatically transmit to the
repeater on channel 32.
Turning on/off Duplex on channels
a. Select the required channel to suit the repeater station you
wish to access (Channels 1 – 8 and 41 – 48)
b. Press the Menu button twice, "RPT" icon will display
c. Press the UP or DOWN button to set the Duplex function to On
or Off.
d. Press the
PTT
button to confirm your setting.
e. The RPT icon will display to indicate that Duplex is set on that
channel.
