OPERATING THROUGH REPEATERS
TRANSMITTER OFFSETS
All Amateur Radio voice repeaters use a separate
receive and transmit frequency. The transmit frequency
may be higher or lower than the receive frequency but
the difference in frequencies will be a standard amount,
or "standard split". Most repeater configurations fall into
one of the following categories:
Offset
Direction
TH-22A/AT/E TH-42A/AT TH-42E
+ + 600 kHz -i-5 MHz -«■1.6 MHz
—
-600 kHz -5 MHz -1.6 MHz
a
N/A N/A -7.6 MHz
N/A: Not applicable
Whether using the VFO, Memory Recall, or the Call
channel, the transmit offset direction and amount can be
changed.
SELECTING OFFSET DIRECTION
This function sets the transmit frequency either higher
( +) or lower {-) than the receive frequency by a fixed
amount. Refer to "Selecting Offset Values Manually"
{page 29} if you want to change the offset amount.
Press [F], [REV],
• The default is "simplex" {no offset).
• Each time this key combination is pressed, the offset
changes as follows:
Simplex- + Simplex-^- +
t______
TH-22A/AT/E, TH-42A/AT TH-42E
If the offset transmit frequency falls outside the transmit
band, transmit is inhibited until the transmit frequency is
brought within the band by one or more of the following
methods:
• Move the receive frequency further inside the band.
• Reduce the offset amount ("Selecting Offsets
Manually" {page 29}).
• Reverse the offset direction.
