You can select a tone frequency independent of a
CTCSS frequency.

When 1750 Hz is selected, the transceiver sends a
500 ms tone burst each time transmission starts. You
cannot transmit 1750 Hz tone manually.

TRANSMITTING A TONE
In general, FM repeaters require the transceiver to
transmit a sub-audible tone to prevent other repeaters
on the same frequency from locking each other up.
The required tone frequency differs among repeaters.
Repeaters also differ in their requirements for either
continuous or burst tones. For the appropriate
selections for your accessible repeaters, consult your
local repeater reference.

After completing the tone settings, pressing and

tone, the transceiver sends a 500 ms tone burst each
