Icom IC-T7H [17/36] I repeater operation

BASIC OPERATION

■ Repeater operation

D General

When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from

the receive frequency by the offset frequency. It is convenient

to program repeater information into memory channels

(p. 15).

➀ Set the operating band and receive frequency (repeater

output frequency).

➁ Push [(TONE)DUP] for 1 sec. once to select – DUP or twice

to select DUP.

•“–DUP” or “DUP” appears to indicate the transmit frequency for

minus shift or plus shift, respectively.

• When the auto repeater function is in use (U.S.A. version only)

this selection and step ➂ are not necessary (p. 24).

➂ Push [TONE] to activate the subaudible tone encoder, ac-

cording to repeater requirements.

•“T” appears.

• Refer to the table of tone frequencies on the following page.

➃ Push and hold [PTT] to transmit.

• The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit

frequency (repeater input frequency).

• If “OFF” appears, check the offset frequency (p. 14).

➄ Release [PTT] to receive.

➅ Push and hold [MONI] to check whether the other station’s

transmit signal can be directly received or not.

D Tone information

Some repeaters require a tone to be accessed. In this case,

precede step ➃ at left with the required tone.

DTMF TONES (U.S.A. and Asia versions only)

While pushing [PTT], push the desired digit key(s) to transmit

DTMF tones

• The transceiver has 9 DTMF memory channels. See p. 17 for de-

tails.

1750 Hz TONE (Europe and Italy versions only)

While pushing [PTT], push and hold [TONE] for 1 to 2 sec. to

transmit a 1750 Hz tone signal.

✔ CONVENIENT

Tone scan function: When you don’t know the subaudible

tone used for a repeater, the tone scan is convenient for de-

tecting the tone frequency.

Push and hold [T SCAN?] to activate. See p. 22 for more in-

formation.
