Note:
◆
When operating through a repeater, over deviation caused
by speaking too loudly into the microphone can cause your
signal to "talk-off" (break up) through the repeater.
◆
To check the tone frequency stored in a memory channel,
recall the desired memory channel and press [AGC/T
(SEL)].

TRANSMITTING A TONE

In general, FM repeaters require the transceiver to
transmit a sub-audible tone to prevent other repeaters
on the same frequency from locking each other up.
The required tone frequency differs among repeaters.
Repeaters also differ in their requirements for either
continuous or burst tones. For the appropriate
selections for your accessible repeaters, consult your
local repeater reference.
After completing the tone settings, pressing and
holding Mic [PTT] causes the transceiver to transmit
the selected tone. If you have selected a 1750 Hz
tone, the transceiver sends a 500 ms tone burst each
time transmission starts.
Note: If you store tone settings in a memory channel, you need
