transmit a "toot toot" tone when a call is over if
ROGER is enable (ON).
29
REVERSE (REVERSE)
User can only enable REVERSE after enable Beat
Frequency (RPT SET/RPT TYPE) through Menu 34,
35. The receive frequency and the transmit frequency
will be switched if Reverse enable. In VFO / MR / CH
mode, press M key rotate to Menu 33, press M key to
enable Reverse, the screen display "R" icon, that
means Reverse have enabled. Operate the same step to
disable Reverse. Default: disable.
Beat Frequency (RPT SET/RPT TYPE)
A channel set two frequencies is a way to using two
frequencies at the same time. The receiving and
transmitting frequencies are not the same. It becomes
easy to operate inconsistent uplink and downlink
frequencies by setting RPT frequency.
Setting mode: In VFO mode, press M key enter to
menu 34, press M key again to enter beat frequency
setting menu, enter value by DTMF microphone or
press "CHA+/CHA-NOL+NOL-" to choose value.
The frequency value increase or decrease by step
when press "CHA+/CHA-NOL+NOL-". The range
of value: OO.OOO-399.995MHz.
Enter menu 35 to set RPT Type, press
"CHA+/CHA-/VOL+NOL-" to select
+RPT/-RPT/SING, press M key to confirm and exit.
30

For example: In VFO mode, enter a frequency as
450MHz, set value of beat frequency 5MHz in RPT
SET, ifRPT Type is + RPT, then receiving frequency
is 450MHz, and transmitting frequency is 455MHz; if
RPT Type is -RPT, then receiving frequency is
450MHz, and transmitting frequency is 445MHz; if
RPT Type is SING, receiving frequency and
transmitting frequency both are 450MHz.
Note: Beat frequency setting is only available in VFO mode
setting; in MR mode, beat frequency can only set through
program software by write the receiving and transmitting
frequencies directly.

then scanning continues. There are 2 seconds
delayed between signal disappears and scanning
continues, so that the transfer station has time to
transfer.
Default mode: TO
