SUBAUDIBLE TONE OPERATION

Tone scan

The transceiver can detect the subaudible tone frequency in a
received signal. By monitoring a signal that is being transmit-
ted on a repeater input frequency, you can determine the tone
frequency required to access the repeater.

q

Set the desired frequency or memory channel to be
checked for a tone frequency.

w

Turn the tone squelch ON or OFF to check the tone
squelch frequency or repeater tone frequency, respectively.
