Bulletin: KW7502 Vendor: Kenwood Subject: TM733A CROSS-BAND REPEAT MODE This information is provided "as is" and is subject to change without notice. Kenwood service corporation makes no warranty of any kind with regard to this information. The TM-733A is capable of operating as a "cross-band repeater". Two different repeater modes are available: Bi-directional cross band repeat; and fixed direction repeat mode. Bi-directional cross-band repeat mode allows the user to configure the radio so that it will repeat a signal originating from either the VHF band or the UHF band. Fixed-direction cross-band repeat mode allows the user to configure the radio so that it will only repeat those signals originating on the VHF band or the UHF band (BUT NOT BOTH). PROCEDURE: 1. Select the desired VHF and UHF operating frequencies. * NOTE: YOU CANNOT SELECT THE SAME BAND FOR BOTH TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE.! 2. For fixed direction repeater operation: Press the BAND SEL (pg 16 item # 13&14). This will turn on the CONT SEL indicator (Pg16 item 16) and the PTT indicator (Pg 20 item 4) for that band. 3. For Bi-directional repeater operation: Make sure the operating band and the transmit band are DIFFERENT. This is done by Pressing the BAND SEL key for the desired transmit band and THEN pressing the CONT SEL key to turn on the CONT SEL INDICATOR for the other band. 4. Press the [F] key for 1 second or longer: This will cause the cross band repeat indicator (AN X on it's side) to appear in the display. Press the key immediately below this indicator to initiate the cross band repeat mode 5. The decimal points for the MHZ, 100 Khz, and 10 Khz positions will be displayed as visual indication that you are in "repeater mode" 6. To cancel the "repeater mode" repeat step number 4
