Cross Band Repeater (5200)

	Effect: enable crossband repeat

	[ed - this is a continuation of the above]
	

	1) You can enable the crossband repeater without altering the
	   frequency coverage.  The only hardware alteration is the
	   removal of link 17.
	2) To enable, turn on rig while holding down [RPT] button.
	   The rig is now a crossband repeater - you will get
	   confirmation of this from the display: the 100s position on
	   the two frequency displays will be replaced by a "R".
	3) While in cross-band repeater mode you can change the
	   frequencies of each band.
	4) The crossband repeater suffers from desense.  It works
	   better at low power and even better if you use an external
	   diplexer and separate antennas.  The more isolation between
	   the two bands, the better.  As with all cross-band
	   repeaters, results will be poor if the UHF frequency is a
	   direct multiple of the VHF frequency.  If you are planning
	   extended use of a crossband repeater, make extra sure that
	   the rig is adequately ventilated.
