CROSSBAND REPTEATER
If you have a TM-D700 transceiver and another VHF
or UHF transceiver, you can set up the TS-480
transceiver and TM-D700 transceiver as a crossband
repeater. The TM-D700 will receive signals you
transmit from the additional VHF or UHF transceiver
when both transceivers are set with the same
frequency. The signal is then routed to the TS-480
transceiver and retransmitted on the frequency you
have set upon the TS-480 transceiver. Likewise,
signals received on the TS-480 transceiver are routed
to the TM-D700 and retransmitted to the transceiver
you have with you, allowing you to hear the received
call in a distant location.
To interface between the TS-480 transceiver and
TM-D700 transceiver, refer to “CROSSBAND
REPEATER” for details {page 79}.
You need a cable that has mini-DIN (6-pin) male
connector at both ends.
Note:
For the repeater function to operate, the squelch levels of both
transceivers (TS-480 and TM-D700) must be adjusted properly so
that no background noise can be heard. Because the transmission is
controlled by monitoring the squelch status only.
Operation
The crossband repeater function uses 2 frequency
bands to receive and transmit signals. When a signal
is received on one band, it is retransmitted on the
other band.
1 Select a desired transmission/ reception VHF or
UHF frequency on the TM-D700 transceiver.
2 Confirm PTT icon is visible on the crossband
repeater frequency on the TM-D700 transceiver.
3 Select the same frequency for the terminal
transceiver.
4 Select a desired HF/ 50 MHz frequency on the
TS-480 transceiver.
5 Adjust the squelch threshold level so that both
TS-480 transceiver and TM-D700 transceiver
mute.
6 Press [MENU/ F. LOCK] on the TS-480, then turn
MULTI control to access Menu No. 57.
7 Press [ ] to select “on”.
When the TS-480 transceiver’s squelch opens,
the TM-D700 transceiver retransmits the
incoming audio signal on the VHF or UHF
frequency at the same time.
•When the TM-D700 transceiver’s squelch
opens, the TS-480 transceiver retransmits the
incoming audio signal on the HF/ 50 MHz
frequency.
8 Access Menu Nos. 46 and 47 and press [ ]/ [ ]
to adjust the input/ output audio level.
9 To quit the TM-D700 repeater operation,
disconnect the interface cable between
transceivers and access Menu No. 57 on the
TS-480 transceiver and select “oFF”.
