Repeater Operation - Icom IC-T7H Instruction Manual

Repeater operation

D General
When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from
the receive frequency by the offset frequency. It is convenient
to program repeater information into memory channels
(p. 15).
Set the operating band and receive frequency (repeater
output frequency).
Push [ DUP] for 1 sec. once to select – DUP or twice
(TONE)
to select DUP.
• "– DUP" or "DUP" appears to indicate the transmit frequency for
minus shift or plus shift, respectively.
• When the auto repeater function is in use (U.S.A. version only)
this selection and step are not necessary (p. 24).
Push [TONE] to activate the subaudible tone encoder, ac-
cording to repeater requirements.
• "T" appears.
• Refer to the table of tone frequencies on the following page.
Push and hold [PTT] to transmit.
• The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit
frequency (repeater input frequency).
• If "OFF" appears, check the offset frequency (p. 14).
Release [PTT] to receive.
Push and hold [MONI] to check whether the other station's
transmit signal can be directly received or not.
D Tone information
Some repeaters require a tone to be accessed. In this case,
precede step at left with the required tone.
DTMF TONES (U.S.A. and Asia versions only)
While pushing [PTT], push the desired digit key(s) to transmit
DTMF tones
• The transceiver has 9 DTMF memory channels. See p. 17 for de-
tails.
1750 Hz TONE (Europe and Italy versions only)
While pushing [PTT], push and hold [TONE] for 1 to 2 sec. to
transmit a 1750 Hz tone signal.
CONVENIENT
Tone scan function: When you don't know the subaudible
tone used for a repeater, the tone scan is convenient for de-
tecting the tone frequency.
Push and hold [T SCAN?] to activate. See p. 22 for more in-
formation.
