REPEATER OR TALKAROUND
MODE
This feature allows you to bypass the repeater and talk
directly to another portable radio. This is known as the
talkaround mode. The transmit frequency is the same
as the receive frequency.
• In REPEATER mode, you talk through the
repeater, which increases the radio's operating
range. The transmit frequency is not the same
as the receive frequency.
• If the REPEATER or TALKAROUND feature is
programmed to a mode, that mode operates on
either direct or repeat operation.

tion at a distance of about 1 to 2
inches (2.5 to 5 cm) from your
mouth.
2 Press the PTT button and speak clearly into
the microphone. The LED indicator lights
steady red while the call is being sent.
3 Release the PTT button to listen.
