Other manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assign- ments, and connection to the IC-7000 may damage the transceiver. Beat signals may be heard on some frequencies. These will occur as a result of circuit construction.

A repeater can be ac- cessed using split frequency operation with the shift frequency set to the repeater’s offset frequency.

  • Page 73: D Repeater Tone Frequency

    D Repeater tone frequency Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be ac- cessed. Subaudible tones are superimposed over your normal signal and must be set in advance. The transceiver has 50 tones from 67.0 Hz to 254.1 Hz. Each memory channel can store a different subaudi- ble tone frequency.
