If the ARS feature has been disabled, or if you need to set a repeater shift direction other
than that established by the ARS, you may set the direction of the repeater shift manually.
To do this:
1. Press the [
F/W
] key, then press the [
6
(
RPT
)] key. This provides a “Short-cut” to Set
Mode Item 51:

2. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the desired shift among “

“

.”
3. When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
switch to save the new setting
and return to normal operation.
If you make a change in the shift direction, but still have Automatic Repeater
Shift still engaged (see previous section), when you change frequency (by
rotating the DIAL knob, for example) the ARS will over-ride your manual
setting of the shift direction. Turn ARS off if you do not wish this to happen.
Changing the Default Repeater Shifts
If you travel to a different region, you may need to change the default repeater shift so as
to ensure compatibility with local operating requirements.
To do this, follow the procedure below:
1. Set the
VX-6E
’s frequency to the band on which you wish to change the default
repeater shift (144 MHz or 430 MHz Amateur Band).
2. Press the [
F/W
] key, then press the [
0
(
SET
)] key to enter the Set mode.
3. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Set Mode Item 56:
SHIFT

4. Press the [
0
(
SET
)] key momentarily to enable adjustment of
this Item.
5. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the new repeater shift magni-
tude.
6. When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
switch to
save the new setting and return to normal operation.
If you just have one “odd” split that you need to program, don’t change the
“default” repeater shifts using this Set Mode Item. Enter the transmit and
receive frequencies separately, as shown on page 34.
