Repeater Operation; D Repeater Access Tone Frequency Setting - Icom IC-7600 Instruction Manual

■ Repeater operation

A repeater retransmits a received signal on a different
frequency. When using a repeater, the transmit
frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by an
offset frequency. A repeater can be accessed using
split frequency operation with the transmit frequency
shifted to the repeater's receive frequency.
For accessing a repeater which requires an access
tone, set the tone frequency in the tone frequency
set mode as described below.
First, set the offset frequency for HF and 50 MHz
