TM721A.10 OPERATING PROCEDURES Repeater cross-band operation allows the TM-721A to receive on one band and retransmit the signal on the other band. An incoming signal will automatically be switched to the sub-band. The TM-721A will then retransmit the signal from the main band. Each band may contain offset and sub-audible information (TSU-6 is required for decode). The encode and decode tones for a single band must be the same. Of course, the encoder or decoder may be shut off by using the [TONE] and [CTCSS] keys. In addition, each band may contain a separate sub-audible tone. 1. Select the first frequency in the main band. If required select the offset. 2. Select a tone if needed. Selecting a tone will not turn on the encode or decode functions. To turn on the encoder, press the TONE key (the [T] indicator will light in the main display). 3. Press the BAND key to move the contents of the main display to the sub-display. The decoder can now be turned on by pressing the F key and then the CTCSS key (the [CTCSS} indicator will light in the sub-display). 4. Now select the second frequency in the main band. Follow steps 1 - 3 as needed to select the offset and tone information. 5. Adjust the main and sub-band squelch controls to the threshold point. The TM-721A will transmit in the repeater cross-band mode if the squelch controls are too low or a signal is received. NOTE: The next two steps place the unit in the cross-band repeater mode. 6. Press the F key 7. Press the A.B.C key within 5 seconds of pressing the F key. Three dots should appear in the main and sub displays. The unit will now operate as described.
