8-8 Frequency Shift Function
The Frequency Shift function switches from the frequency currently being
received to another frequency with the press of a single key. For example,
communication with a repeater (relay) uses sending (uplink) and receiving
(downlink) frequencies separately. The Frequency Shift function allows you to
receive signals of both frequencies alternately by switching between them with
a press of a key.

MEMO
• Normally, communication via a repeater can be received by tuning to
the downlink frequency (the frequency which the repeater uses tore-
send the received signal).
• When this function is used, the base-station signals are relatively
strong and can be received easily.
• The mobile-station signals, however, are not so strong and can be
heard only within the coverage area.
This function is commonly described a “reverse-monitor” in amateur-
radio equipment.
