If CTCSS Tone operation is desired/needed, press andhold in the FM Mode key for two seconds to en-gage the CTCSS mode.3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial to select the desiredCTCSS mode. If you just need to send the uplink en-coding tone, select “tn.” For encode/decode opera-tion, choose “ts” instead.The available choices are“OFF” “tn” “ts” “OFF.”4.

Press and hold in the FM Mode key for two sec-onds to exit from the repeater setup mode.7. Close the microphone's PTT switch (or press theMOX switch) to begin transmission. You will ob-serve that the frequency has shiftd to correspond tothe programming you set up in the previous steps.Speak into the microphone in a normal voice level,and release the PTT or MOX switch to return to thereceive mode.AdviceThe conventional repeater shift used on 29 MHz is 100kHz, while on the 50 MHz band the shift may vary be-tween 500 kHz and 1.7 kHz (or more). To program theproper repeater shift, use Menu items MODE-FM 060RPT SHIFT (28 MHz) and 061 RPT SHIFT (50 MHz),as appropriate.You may also use “Tone Squelch” whereby your receiver will be kept silent until an incoming signal bearing amatching CTCSS tone is receiver. Your receiver's squelch will then open in response to the reception of the requiredtone.FM Mode keyCTCSS Tone Frequency (Hz)67.0 69.3 71.9 74.4 77.0 79.7 82.5 85.488.5 91.5 94.8 97.4 100.0 103.5 107.2 110.9114.8 118.8 123.0 127.3 131.8 136.5 141.3 146.2151.4 156.7 159.8 162.2 165.5 167.9 171.3 173.8177.3 179.9 183.5 186.2 189.9 192.8 196.6 199.5203.5 206.5 210.7 218.1 225.7 229.1 233.6 241.8250.3 254.11.
