Using your radio as a repeater is simplicity itself. **Just turn on the repeater mode** with a single long press of a functional number key or in the traditional way through the menu. Once the radio is in repeater mode, it sends a presence signal on a particular frequency. Other radios on the same frequency then connect to the repeater.
