Programming 5-Tone non-selective transmissions with PTT ID
(Unmuted System)
This procedure enables you to send your radio’s ID when pressing PTT. The receive radio(s) will receive your
transmission
and your ID will appear on its display. Radios will hear all other traffic also
The following instructions assume that frequencies, tones, and squelch are set and the radios are in PMR mode
(found in the Menu bar under Model). Additionally, the Auto Reset Timer must be enabled (Memory CH) and a
value entered (Common -> Common). These instructions apply to all Icom radios with PMR capability.
