REPEATER OPERATION
TONE CALLING
(
1750 HZ
)
If your transceiver is VX-8GE (European version), press and hold in the e switch (just
below the PTT switch) to generates a 1750-Hz burst tone to access the European repeater.
The transmitter will automatically be activated, and a 1750-Hz audio tone will be super-
imposed on the carrier. Once access to the repeater has been gained, you may release the
e switch, and use the PTT switch for activating the transmitter thereafter.
If you need to access the repeaters which requires a 1750-Hz burst tone for access by the
VX-8GR (USA/EXP versions), you can set the e switch to serve as a “Tone Call”
switch instead. To change the configuration of this switch, we again use the Set Mode to
help us.
1. Press and hold the m key for one second to enter the Set Mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 56: MONI/T-
CALL.
3. Press the m key briefly to enable adjustment of this Set
Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “T-CALL” on the display.
5. Press the PTT switch briefly to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
To access a repeater, press and hold in the e key for the amount
of time specified by the repeater owner/operator. The transmitter will automatically be
activated, and a 1750-Hz audio tone will be superimposed on the carrier. Once access to
the repeater has been gained, you may release the e key, and use the PTT switch for
activating the transmitter.
CHECKING THE REPEATER UPLINK (INPUT) FREQUENCY
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.
