OPERATING THROUGH REPEATERS 1 Repeaters are often installed and maintained by radio clubs, sometimes with the cooperation of local 2 businesses involved in the communications industry. Compared to simplex communication, you can usually 3 transmit over much greater distances by using a repeater. Repeaters are typically located on a mountain 4 top or other elevated location. Often they operate at higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical 5 station. This combination of elevation and high ERP allows communications over considerable distances. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 TX: 144.725 MHz TX tone: 88.5 Hz RX: 145.325 MHz 13 14 TX: 144.725 MHz TX tone: 88.5 Hz RX: 145.325 MHz REPEATER ACCESS Most amateur radio voice repeaters use a separate receive and transmit frequency. You can set a separate transmit frequency by selecting the offset frequency and offset direction with respect to the receive frequency. In addition, some repeaters may require the transceiver to transmit a tone before the repeater can be used. To transmit this required tone, activate the Tone function and select a tone frequency. The required offset direction, offset frequency, and tone frequency depend on the repeater you are accessing. Consult your local repeater reference. Flow Chart for Repeater Access Select a band.

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 a mountain
top or other elevated location.
Often they operate at
higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical
station.
This combination of elevation and high ERP
allows communications over considerable distances.

REPEATER ACCESS
Most amateur radio voice repeaters use a separate
receive and transmit frequency.
You can set a separate
transmit frequency by selecting the offset frequency and
offset direction with respect to the receive frequency.
In
addition, some repeaters may require the transceiver to
transmit a tone before the repeater can be used.
To
transmit this required tone, activate the Tone function
and select a tone frequency.
The required offset direction, offset frequency, and tone
frequency depend on the repeater you are accessing.
Consult your local repeater reference.
