Other Notable Features
In addition to the VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF, and VHF/UHF capabilities of the dual VFO's, the other unique feature of interest is crossband repeat. I've tested the crossband repeat functionality of this radio, and it works very well.
Before enabling crossband repeat, you need to determine which type of crossband repeat you want to use. The radio supports two modes: two-way crossband repeat and one-way crossband repeat. Two-way cross band repeat means that the radio repeats anything it hears on either band to the opposite band. This is the standard method on most radios that provide crossband repeat. One-way crossband repeat means that it will only repeat transmissions heard on the main band over to the sub-band.
To set up your preferred crossband repeat mode, go to the RPT-SET menu:
To use Two-way crossband repeat mode, choose the X-TWRPT option:
If you want to use one-way crossband repeat, select the X-DIRPT option:
Once you've selected your crossband repeat mode, you turn it on by first enabling dual VFOs: tap the RPT button until you see both VFO's active. Next, set your frequencies of choice on each band and then hold down the RPT button until you see the circular arrow icon on the top left of the screen.
Lastly, there are two additional crossband repeat options you can control: whether or not the speaker is enabled while repeating, and whether or not the PTT is enabled while repeating.
All of these features work very well on this radio.
