gage the CTCSS mode.
3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select the desired
CTCSS mode. If you just need to send the uplink en-
coding tone, select "tn tn tn tn tn." For encode/decode operation,
choose "ts" instead. The available choices are

The conventional repeater shift used on 29 MHz is 100 kHz, while on the 50 MHz band the shift may vary between 500 kHz
and 1.7 MHz (or more). To program the proper repeater shift, use Menu items "076 F3E 28 RPT" (28 MHz) and "077 F3E
50 RPT" (50 MHz), as appropriate.
You may also use "Tone Squelch" whereby your receiver will be kept silent until an incoming signal bearing a
matching CTCSS tone is receiver. Your receiver's squelch will then open in response to the reception of the required
tone.
1. Rotate the Main tuning Dial to the output frequency
(downlink) from the repeater.
2. Press and hold in the [ AM/FM ] button for two sec-
onds to engage the CTCSS mode.
