Repeater Operation; D Setting The Repeater Tone - Icom IC-756PROIII Instruction Manual

■ Repeater operation

A repeater amplifies received signals and retransmits
them at a different frequency. When using a repeater,
the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive fre-
quency by an offset frequency. A repeater can be ac-
cessed using split frequency operation with the shift
frequency set to the repeater's offset frequency.
For accessing a repeater which requires a repeater
tone, set the repeater tone frequency in set mode
as described below.

D D Setting the repeater tone
Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be ac-
cessed. Subaudible tones are superimposed over
your normal signal and must be set in advance. The
transceiver has 50 tones from 67.0 Hz to 254.1 Hz.
Each memory channel can store an independent set-
ting.
