Those of you that are using digital it is ready to use. Those of you that are using analog FM then the only thing that has changed is the addition of CTCSS activation on your receive as well as transmit side to take away the digital noises. Both digital and analog users should monitor their receive lights on their rigs to tell if the frequency is already in use. Digital users can see the channel busy light and hit MON button to hear any other voice transmissions. Digital users can use a few different settings to handle this task such as AMS, Automatic Mode Select. Those of you in FM can also use your receive light for frequency use and MON button to listen for what will sound like a buzzing on the frequency. That is the digital voice transmissions. Whichever mode you are using the repeater will switch to that function automatically. FM in FM out and Digital in Digital out. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>This is a quick generalization of the repeater functions as they stand now.
