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.
