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 [
(#)T SCAN] for 2 sec. to activate. See p. 33 for more in-
formation.
REPEATER OPERATION

■ General
When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from
the receive frequency by the offset frequency. (p. 20) It is con-
venient to program repeater information into memory chan-
nels. (p. 22)
q Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN].
w Set the receive frequency (repeater output frequency).
e Push [
(TONE)DUP] for 2 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 r are not necessary. (p. 21)
r Push [TONE] to activate the subaudible tone encoder, ac-
cording to repeater requirements.
•Refer to the next page for tone frequency settings.
t 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. 20)
y Release [PTT] to receive.
u Push and hold [SQL] to check whether the other station’s
transmit signal can be directly received or not.
Some repeaters require DTMF tones or a 1750 Hz tone to
be accessed. In this case, perform the following instead of
step r at left with the required tone.
DTMF TONES (IC-W32A only)
While pushing [PTT], push the desired digit key(s) to trans-
mit DTMF tones.
•The transceiver has 4 DTMF memory channels. See p. 26 for de-
tails.
1750 Hz TONE (Europe, Italy and U.K. versions only)
While pushing [PTT], push and hold [CALL] for 1 to 2 sec.
to transmit a 1750 Hz tone burst signal.
•Pushing [PTT] 2 times quickly also transmits a 1750 Hz tone. Re-
lease [PTT] briefly, then push [PTT] again to talk in this case.
