It often is helpful to be able to check the uplink (input) frequency of a repeater, to see if the
calling station is within direct (“Simplex”) range.
To do this, just press the
h
key. You’ll notice that the display has shifted to the repeater
uplink frequency. Press the
h
key again to cause operation to
return to normal monitoring of the repeater downlink (output)
frequency. While you are listening on the input frequency of the
repeater using the
h
key, the repeater offset icon (“
” or
”)
will blink.
The configuration of
h
key may be set either to “
RV
” (for checking the
input frequency of a repeater, or “
HM
” (for instant switching to the “Home”
channel for the band you are operating on). To change the configuration of
h
key, use Set Mode Item 34: HOME/REVERSE. See page 135.
