7-9 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 both sending (uplink) and receiving
(downlink) frequencies. 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 to
resend 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.
