Cross-band repeater
When one band becomes busy, the cross-band repeater function retrans-
mitts the received signal on the other band. As soon as the BUSY
signal for the receiver band goes low, the transceiver enter receive
mode on both bands.
Note 1:DTTS and paging are not checked.
Note Y:If TONE of the transmitter is on, a subtone is output.
Note 3:If the transmitter does not output a subtone, CTCSS is
checked.
Cross-band repeater ON/OFF
You can turn the cross-band repeater ON and OFF by pressing the
_____ _____
I F I key for one second, then the I 0 I key.

Note 1:The cross-band repeater does not turn on during dual watch.
Note 2:If you enable the cross-band repeater when the bell function
is on, the bell function is turned off and the cross-band
repeater function is turned on. You can turn the repeater on
only if the bell function for the operation band is off.
Note 3:A dedicated jumper is used to select whether to use the
cross-band repeater.

Answerback function
If the transmitter pages a receiver, it does not know whether the
receiver has received the paging signal. When the answerback function
is ON, the receiver returns a code automatically if the paging code
matches to indicate that it has received the paging signal. The
transmitter can thus confirm that the code it sent was actually
received.
Operation
If the paging code matches and the busy signal goes low, the receiver
returns a code. If the paging code does not match, the receiver does
not return a code. The answerback function is related to the bell
function:if you turn the bell function on when the answerback
function is on, the answerback function works; If you turn the bell
function off, the answerback function does not work. If the answer-
back function is off, only the bell function can be turned on or off.
To turn the answerback function on and off, hold down the _____ key
and switch the POWER ON. I Mhz I
I_____I
Note :This function is available only if reception is
modified.
