NOTE:
If you're experiencing problems making a connection to the repeater, check your settings and/or go through the procedure again.
Certain Amateur Radio repeaters (especially in Europe) use a 1750Hz tone burst to open up the repeater. To see how this is done
with the
Radioddity
GT-82
, see the
section
called
“1750Hz
Tone-burst”.
If you're still unable to make a connection, contact the person in charge of the radio system with your employer or your local amateur
radio club, as the case may be.
If you for some reason want to listen to the repeater's input frequency instead, press [*/SCAN] key momentarily and you'll reverse
your transmit and receive frequencies.
This is indicated in the LCD on the radio with an R in the top row, next to the + and - for the offset direction.
