Your XRS Connect 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 enable duplex on a repeater channel:
1. Select the required repeater channel (1 - 8, 41 - 48).
2. Briey press the DUP key. The
icon will appear on the display
accompanied by a high beep.
To remove duplex from a repeater channel:
1. Select the required repeater channel (1 - 8, 41 - 48). If duplex is
currently selected, the
icon will be displayed.
2. Briey press the
DUP key. The
icon will disappear from the
display accompanied by a low beep.
NOTE: 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 who might not be audible to your radio.
PRIORITY CHANNEL
The Priority channel feature allows you to instantly recall any one of the 80 CB
channels in your radio. This feature can be used to provide instant access to your
working channel or your local repeater channel at the press of key. It is also used
in conjunction with the Priority Scan mode.
To store a priority channel:
1. Select the required channel.
2. Press and hold the PRI key.
The channel number will ash for a few seconds then a high beep will
be heard as the channel is stored. The PRI icon will now be visible
whenever that channel is selected.
NOTE: The Priority channel can also be set through the Menu.
