The scanning process CH1→CH6→CH2→CH6→CH3→CH6→CH4→CH6→CH5→CH6.
If the radio detects a signal on the "priority channel", it will call-up this frequency; it can go ahead select the priority
channel through our software.
Repeater setting (RPT-SET) ---Menu 37

Tips:
Under the mode of X-DIRPT directional cross band repeater, or X-TWRPT dual direction crossband
repeater, Setting reverse frequency of working channel or frequency, Frequency difference direction or
frequency difference frequency, the frequency of the corresponding frequency is beyond the range of the
frequency of transmission, then the area can’t be transmitted.
The Menu of repeater setting has 2 mode of X-DIRPT directional cross band repeater, X-TWRPT dual direction
cross band repeater.
Two working channel must be two cross band frequency and channel ( Radio receive frequency in UHF band on
the A area, and transmit frequency in VHF band on the B area). of course, can setting of Radio transmitting
frequency in VHF band on the A area, and receive frequency in UHF band on the B area.
1. X-DIRPT directional cross section transfer: the main frequency area is defined as the middle switch, while the
secondary frequency is defined as the repeater transmitter; the receiver is only responsible for receiving, the
transmitter is only responsible for transmitting.
2. X-TWRPT two-way cross section repeater: in the standby, main and auxiliary frequency area are converted to
the receiver, when the frequency of first received carrier signal effectively after the side frequency region is
automatically defined as cross section relay transmitter, of course the standby state side frequency region first
received carrier signal effectively, frequency is defined as the cross section area automatically transit transmitter.
35 36
The receiver and transmitter of the bidirectional cross section are not fixed, the first receiving area is the receiver,
and the other is the transmitter.
After entering into the cross section, the receiving frequency and the transmitting frequency are the same.
Ex1:
A area, the channel mode enters into the cross section relay, and the reception frequency of the A area is the
receiving frequency of the channel when the standby time is received.
After receiving the effective carrier signal in the B area, the A area starts the transmission, and the transmitting
frequency is the transmitting frequency of the channel.
If you set the frequency conversion function, then the A transceiver frequency and send and receive sub tone will
be inverted.
Ex 2:
A area to the frequency mode into the cross section of the relay, then standby A area waiting for the receiving
frequency is the frequency of the frequency of the mode of reception, the reception is still in the frequency of the
sub model of the received sub tone.
When the B area receives the effective carrier signal, when the A area is started, the frequency of the frequency of
the received frequency or the frequency difference is taken as the transmitting frequency.
If you set the frequency conversion function, then the A transceiver frequency and send and receive sub tone will
be inverted.

whether to support the [PTT] in transit or relay transmission. However, the signal will be temporarily interrupted
when PTT is transmitted.
In the standby, press [MENU]+[3 SAVE][7 VOX], the screen displays:
Press [MENU] to enter, press [UP] / [DOWN] keys to select the desired parameter press [MENU] to confirm.
The RPT key on the speaker and repeater mode to switch on the waiting state, long press [RPT] 2
second can realize conversion between speaker and repeater mode.
Under the mode of directional/dual cross band repeater, the screen display
In order to use the repeater platform repeater receipt sound can be timely and effectively reflect the repeater
state of the work, improve the use efficiency of the simulator, you can use the menu function [47] to set.
Keep the timer relay to prevent hand response messages and communication have been repeatedly press
and release the button. When the mobile receiver release button, "holding time " allows the hand while
waiting for the moment to launch in response to user. If the QT/DQT is not detected during the duration of
the hold time, the transmitter is allowed to release the key. This parameter determines that the duration of
the state of the key is maintained when the valid QT/DQT receiver signal disappears. The function may
be set by our company to write software.
