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 tone fre-
quency set mode as described below.
q First, set the offset frequency for HF and 50 MHz
bands, then turn ON the quick split function in the
Others set mode. (p. 12-15)
w Push [V/M] 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 Hold down [SPLIT] for 1 second to start repeater
operation.
• Repeater tone is turned ON automatically.
• [SPLIT] indicator lights and "
• Shifted transmit frequency and "TX" appear in the sub
band.
• The transmit frequency can be monitored while holding
down [XFC] or using dualwatch.
u Hold down [PTT] to transmit; release [PTT] to re-
ceive.
i To return to simplex, push [SPLIT] momentarily.
Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be ac-
cessed. Subaudible tones are superimposed over your
normal signal and must be set in advance. The trans-
ceiver has 50 tones from 67.0 Hz to 254.1 Hz.
q Select FM mode.
w Hold down [TONE] for 1 second to tone frequency
set mode.
e Push [F-1•Y] or [F-2•Z] to select REPEATER
TONE item.
r Rotate the main dial to select the desired repeater
tone frequency.
• Hold down [F-4•DEF] for 1 second to select the default
setting.
t Push [EXIT/SET] to return to the previous indica-
tion.

Do you have a question about the IC-7800 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My 7800 automatically goes into Split mode when transmitting on the "Main" side of the radio. It transfers the Main frequency to the "Sub" frequency, goes into split mode and transmits on the Sub side of the radio. What Causes that and how do I cancel that?
