Crossband repeat
I was nosing about the e-ham.com review section last night and
could have sworn I saw some directions from a member describing how he got his FT-60 to crossband repeat. I neglected to print out the material, but thought of doing so today. When I went back the message appeared to be gone. Was I hallucinating or was it expunged for a reason beyond my knowledge? Did anyone else see the message ... maybe it was posted elsewhere and I'm just confused as to its location. If someone has that information could they post it here or forward it to me directly?

Of course it does cross band repeat. It is in the manual on page 28 but

hidden under the title "Storing Independent Transmit Frequencies "Odd Splits"). It is not so odd to receive on 2 meters and transmit on 440. hi hi. 73 de KE2QR Fred Jacobowitz _._. _ _ ._ _.. . _._ . .._ _ _ _ _._ ._.

Crossband repeat means that a signal being received on one frequency is simultaneously re-transmitted on another frequency. The FT-60 is not capable of doing that. It cannot receive while it is transmitting.

What is described on page 28 has nothing to do with crossband repeat. The proper term for the use you mentioned would be "crossband operation" since no "repeating" is involved. 73, Jim K5QL ke2qr@... wrote: Of course it does cross band repeat. It is in the manual on page 28 but |
Yes, my mistake. The FT-60r certainly cannot act as a repeater. I misread

the posting. Sorry for any confusion. 73 de KE2QR Fred Jacobowitz _._. _ _ ._ _.. . _._ . .._ _ _ _ _._ ._. THE MORSE CODE:When you rearrange the letters:HERE COME DOTS Instant Messenger: KE2QR -----Original Message----- |
Crossband repeat generally implies that the handheld will receive a signal on one band and retransmit it on another band, and vica versa. This requires a transceiver that has independent receiver/transmitter combinations. I.e. can receive two different frequencies simultaneously, as well as being able to transmit on one and receive on another. The last Yaesu handheld that I remember that could do this was the FT-51R.

Storing different frequencies for Receive and Transmit, even between bands, can be done on most handhelds. '73 de Jim N2ZZ ----- Original Message -----

This, no doubt, is what the individual posting on the e-ham web site was referring to, but characterized as "crossband repeating". What was meant, I expect, was more in the nature of "crossband operation". Mystery solved. Thanks guys.
