REPEATER – 3

TRANSMITTING A 1750 Hz TONE

Most repeaters in Europe require that a transceiver

transmit a 1750 Hz tone. On a TH-D72E, simply pressing

[CALL] will transmit this tone. It is also possible to

program [1750] on the front panel as a [CALL] key for

transmitting the 1750 Hz tone.

1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 162.

2 Set it to “1750Hz”.

Some repeaters in Europe must receive continuous

signals for a certain period of time, following a 1750 Hz

tone. This transceiver is also capable of remaining in the

transmit mode for 2 seconds after transmitting a 1750 Hz

tone.

1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 163.

2 Set it to “On”.

Note: While remaining in the transmit mode, the transceiver does not

continuously transmit a 1750 Hz tone.

REVERSE FUNCTION

After setting a separate receive and transmit frequency,

you can exchange these frequencies using the Reverse

function. This allows you to manually check the strength

of signals you receive directly from other stations, while

using a repeater. If the station’s signal is strong, move to

a simplex frequency to continue the contact and free up

the repeater.

Press [REV] to turn the Reverse function On or Off

• When the Reverse function is On, the “ ” icon will appear on

the display.

Note:

X If the transmit frequency is outside the allowable transmit

frequency range when using Reverse, pressing [PTT] will cause

an error tone to sound and transmission will be inhibited.

X If the receive frequency is outside the receive frequency range

when using Reverse, an error tone will sound and Reverse will

not operate.

X The ARO (Automatic Repeater Offset) will not function when

Reverse is ON.

X You cannot switch Reverse On or Off while transmitting.

AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECKER (ASC)

While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the

strength of signals you receive directly from the other

stations. If the station’s signal is strong enough to allow

direct contact without a repeater, the “ ” icon blinks.

Press [REV] (1s) to turn the ASC On.

• When the ASC is On, the “ ” icon will appear on the display.

• While direct contact is possible, without the use of a repeater,

the “

” icon will begin blinking.

• To exit ASC, press

[REV].

Note:

X Pressing [PTT] will cause the “

” icon to stop blinking.

X ASC does not function if you are using simplex operation.

X ASC does not function while scanning.

X Activating ASC while using Reverse will switch the Reverse

function Off.

X If you recall a Memory channel or the Call channel, and those

channels are set up with the Reverse function switched On, the

ASC will switch Off

X You cannot use ASC when the built-in TNC is turned On.

X ASC causes received signals to be momentarily intermitted every

3 seconds.

TONE FREQUENCY ID

This function scans through all tone frequencies to identify

the incoming tone frequency on a received signal. You

can use this function to find which tone frequency is

required by your local repeater.

1 Press [TONE] to switch the Tone function On.

• The “ ” icon appears on the display.

2 Press [F], [TONE] (1s) to run the Tone Frequency ID

scan.

• Scan starts and “Scanning” blinks on the display.

• To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning

control clockwise <or press [

]> (upward scan) or

counterclockwise <or press [

]> (downward scan).

• To quit the function, press

[ESC

• When the tone frequency is identified, the identified

frequency appears on the display and blinks. Press any

key other than [

OK] while the identified frequency is

blinking, to resume scanning.

3 Press [ OK] to program the identified frequency in

place of the currently set tone frequency.

• The Tone function will remain On. You can press [TONE]

to switch the Tone function Off.

• Press [ESC

] if you do not want to program the

identified frequency.
