The receiving and transmitting frequency are different on the repeater. Repeater will

turn the weak receiving signal into strong transmitting signal and transmit on the same

channel. When transmitting, the “DATA”light is on. If it is analog signal, the “Ana.”light on.

if it is digital signal, the “Dig.”light flashes. The receiving and transmitting frequency and

CDCSS/CTCSS can be set by CPS.

An analog channel or a smart analog/digital detecting channel can be programmed

with one group of CDCSS/CTCSS encoding and decoding list. When receiving

CDCSS/CTCSS on the channel, repeater will transmit according to preprogrammed

CDCSS/CTCSS encoding and decoding list.

3.3IP Connecting

Default IP address：192.168.1.100. Application update, parameters configuration and

second development can be made through this port.
