DUPLEX OPERATION

Duplex communication uses 2 different frequencies for trans-
mitting and receiving. Generally, duplex is used in communi-
cation through a repeater, some utility communications, etc.

During duplex operation, the transmit station frequency is
shifted from the receive station frequency by the offset fre-
quency. Repeater information (offset frequency and shift di-
rection) can be programmed into memory channels. (p. 14)

This function is not available in the broadcast band (0.495

– 1.620 MHz) except for U.S.A. and Canada versions.
