Your radio allows you to enable or disable Duplex mode
on individual repeater channels. In this way any repeater
channels that are not being used with repeaters in your area
can be used in simplex mode for normal direct radio-to-radio
communications.

To remove Duplex from a Repeater channel

duplex is currently selected, the duplex symbol will be
displayed.
2. Briefly press the DUP key. the duplex symbol will

IMPORTANT: channels 1-8, 31-38, 41-48 and 71-78 should
only be used in simplex mode if there are no repeaters in or
near your location that operate on the selected channel. In
particular, avoid operating in simplex mode on any of the
repeater input channels 31-38 and 71-78 unless you are
absolutely sure that there are no repeaters in range using that
channel. Inadvertently transmitting on an active repeater input
frequency in simplex mode could cause interference to other
users on that repeater that would not be audible to your radio.
