Each repeater needs a backchannel to operate as a pair.

When on channel 1 - channel 31 acts as the backchannel.
2 uses 32, 3 uses 33 etc.

Avoid channels 31 to 38 for general use. If you are within range of a repeater, your voice could exceed 10,000 sq km coverage and that repeater could be made unuseable – without you knowing.

For general travelling use, the Repeater (REP) or Duplex (DUP) function should be permanently programmed ON at all times on channels 1 to 8.

Please avoid transmitting on all the above channels unless you chose to access a repeater.

Used to call another user who may be listening on the call channel (such as a friend). After contact, you must move to another channel.

Scanning all channels is a better way to find other contacts.

Scanning all channels is a far more effective way of finding other UHF user contacts ib an emergency.
