Communicating directly with other radios
You can bypass the radio repeater and communicate directly
with another radio. This feature is known as repeater

range of the repeater, or if the repeater is busy or stops working.
While repeater talkaround is active, all transmissions are
made on the receive frequency of the channel you are on.
To activate repeater talkaround, you may be able to either:
■
use a programmed function key, or
