Repeater Operation; D Repeater Access Tone Frequency Setting - Icom IC-7600 Instruction Manual

Repeater operation

A repeater retransmits a received signal on a differ-
ent frequency. When using a repeater, the transmit
frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by an
offset frequency. A repeater can be accessed using
split frequency operation with the transmit frequency
shifted to the repeater's receive frequency.
For accessing a repeater which requires an access
tone, set the tone frequency in tone frequency set
mode as described below.
q Set the offset frequencies (HF, 50 MHz) and turn
ON the quick split function in Others set mode in
advance. (pgs. ??, ??)
w Push [VFO/MEMO] to select VFO mode.
e Push the desired band key.
r Push [AM/FM] several times to select FM mode.
t Set the receive frequency (repeater output fre-
quency).
y Push and hold [SPLIT] for 1 sec. to start repeater
operation.
• Repeater tone is turned ON automatically.
• [SPLIT] indicator lights and "
the LCD.
• Shifted transmit frequency and "TX" appear in the sub
band.
• The transmit frequency can be monitored while push-
ing [XFC].
u Push and hold [PTT] to transmit; release [PTT] to
receive.
i To return to simplex, push [SPLIT] momentarily.

D Repeater access tone frequency setting

Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be
accessed. Subaudible tones are superimposed on
your normal signal and must be set in advance. The
transceiver has 50 tones from 67.0 Hz to 254.1 Hz.
q During FM mode operation, push and hold [TONE]
(MF7) for 1 sec. to enter tone frequency set mode.
w Push [Y] (F-1) or [Z] (F-2) to select REPEATER
TONE item.

tone frequency.
