situations. However, using Menu item "056 F3E FM MIC," you may set a different
fixed value, or choose the "ur" option, which then lets you use the front panel [MIC
GAIN] knob to set the microphone gain in the FM mode.
Advice:
You may change the tuning step of the microphone's [UP]/[DWN] button via the
Menu item "088 TUN FM STEP".
The Transmit Monitor is another helpful way of verifying proper adjustment of the
FM MIC Gain. By pressing the [MONI] button, then adjusting the [MONI] knob
for a comfortable listening level while you are transmitting, you will be able to
hear the difference in deviation as you make adjustments.
FM is only used in the 28 MHz and 50 MHz Amateur bands covered in the FT-950.
Please do not use FM on any other bands.

Repeater Operation

The FT-950 may be utilized on 29 MHz and 50 MHz repeaters.
1. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to the output frequency (downlink) from the
repeater.
2. If CTCSS Tone operation is desired/needed, press and hold in the [AM/FM] button
for two seconds to engage the CTCSS mode.
3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select the desired CTCSS mode. If you just
need to send the uplink encoding tone, select "TN." For encode/decode operation,
choose "TS" instead. The available choices are "OFF"
"TS (Tone Squelch)"
4. Rotate the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob to select the desired CTCSS Tone to be used. A
total of 50 standard CTCSS tones are provided (see the CTCSS Tone Chart).
5. Press the [AM/FM] Mode button to select the desired repeater shift direction. The
selections are:
"S" "+" "–"
where "S" represents "Simplex" operation (not used on a repeater).
6. Press and hold in the [AM/FM] button for two seconds to exit from the repeater
setup mode.
7. Close the microphone's PTT switch (or press the [MOX] button) to begin
transmission. You will observe that the frequency has shifted to correspond to the
programming you set up in the previous steps, and a "T" notation will indicate on
the "10 Hz" frequency digit while transmitting. Speak into the microphone in a
normal voice level, and release the PTT switch or [MOX] button to return to the
"OFF."
