Note: 42 different tones are available for the transceiver. These
42 tones includes 37 EIA standard tones and 5 non-standard
tones.
TH-F7E only:
◆
To transmit a 1750 Hz tone, simply press [CALL] without
pressing the PTT switch (default setting). Release [CALL] to
quit transmitting. You can also make the transceiver remain
in the transmit mode for 2 seconds after releasing [CALL]; a
1750 Hz tone is not continuously transmitted. Access Menu
No. 24 (1750 HOLD) and select “ON”.
◆
If you desire to assign [CALL] for recalling the Call channel
in place of transmitting the 1750 Hz tone, access Menu
No. 23 (CALL KEY) and select “CALL”.

2 m and 1.25 m (TH-F6A only) bands. The
transceiver is programmed for offset direction as
shown below. To obtain an up-to-date band plan for
repeater offset direction, contact your national
Amateur Radio association.
