Pocket Beep Operation; Tone Scan - Icom IC-T7H Instruction Manual

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
D Pocket beep operation
This function uses subaudible tones for calling and can be
used as a "common pager" to inform you that someone has
called while you were away from the transceiver.
Set the operating frequency.
Set the desired subaudible tone (same as that used for
tone squelch operation, "CT") in set mode.
• See p. 21 for programming.
Push [TONE] two times until "TSQLS" appears.
When a signal with a matched tone is received, the trans-
ceiver emits beep tones for 30 sec. and flashes "S."
Push [PTT] to answer or push [VFO] to stop the beeps and
flashing.
• Tone squelch is automatically selected.
D Calling a waiting station using pocket beep
A subaudible tone matched with the station's tone frequency
is necessary. Use the tone squelch on p. 21 or a subaudible
tone encoder.

D Tone scan
The transceiver can detect the subaudible tone frequency in a
received signal. By monitoring a signal, such as that being
transmitted on a repeater input frequency, you can determine
the tone frequency required to access the repeater.
Set the desired frequency or memory channel to be
checked for a tone frequency.
Push [T SCAN] for 1 sec. to start the tone scan.
• To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].
When the tone frequency is decoded, the set mode con-
tents are programmed with the tone frequency.
• The decoded tone frequency is used for the tone encoder or tone
encoder/decoder, depending on the the tone squelch ON/OFF
setting.
• "CT" or "rT" appears during tone scan when the tone squelch is in
use or not, respectively.
Push [VFO] to stop the scan.
T SQL
"CT" appears during
tone scan with tone squelch
Subaudible tone
frequencies flash as
they are scanned.
T
"rT" appears during tone scan
without tone squelch.
