Programming Short Messages in 5-Tone

This procedure enables you to send tones that correspond to preprogrammed messages. The receive radio will
decode the tones and will display the messages associated with the tones.
Note: Depending on the radio model, your message will be limited to 8 or 12 characters.
The following instructions assume that frequencies, tones, and squelch are set and the radios are in PMR mode
(found in the Menu bar under Model). Additionally, the Auto Reset Timer must be enabled (Memory CH) and a
value entered (Common -> Common). These instructions apply to all Icom radios with PMR capability.
