Repeater Operation

The FTM-3100R includes the ARS (Automatic Repeater Shift) function, which permits

communication through repeaters automatically, by simply setting the receiver to the re-

peater frequency.

2. Press the PTT to transmit.

During transmission, radio waves having an 100.0 Hz* tone signal are emitted on the

frequency offset from the receive frequency by 0.6 MHz*.

*: Depends on the transceiver version.

Note: From the Setup Menu, you can change the repeater setting.

28 RPT ARS à Deactivates the ARS function.

29 RPT FREQ à Allows changing the repeater shift frequency offset.

30 RPT SFT à Allows setting the repeater shift direction.

Checking the Repeater Uplink (Input) Frequency

It is often 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

[

REV

key. You’ll

notice that the display has shifted to the repeat-

er uplink frequency. Press the

[

key

again to cause operation to revert to normal

monitoring of the repeater downlink (output)

frequency. While listening on the repeater input

frequency using the

[

key, the repeat-

er offset icon will blink.
