tered in the “Function List” that is displayed when the

ily reversed (“reverse” state).

Tone Calling (1750 Hz)
If the transceiver is FTM-6000R/E (European/Asian versions), press and hold in the
[ P4 ] key on the microphone (in factory default setting) to generate a 1750 Hz burst tone
to access the European repeater. The transmitter will automatically be activated, and
a 1750 Hz audio tone will be superimposed on the carrier. Once access to the repeat-
er has been achieved, release the switch, and thereafter use the switch for activating
the transmitter. To access repeaters which require a 1750 Hz burst tone with the FTM-
6000R (USA version), set the program key on the microphone to serve as a “ T-CALL ”
key. To change the configuration of this switch, use menu list [ 14 MIC.PGM ].
