VX-3R Operating Manual
Tone Calling (1750 Hz)
If the repeaters in your country require a 1750-Hz burst tone for access (typically in Europe), you can set
the MONI key to serve as a “Tone Call” switch instead. To change the configuration of this switch, we again
use the Set Mode to help us.
1. Press and hold in the [TXPO] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 47: M/T-CL.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
3. Press the [TXPO] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “T-CALL” on the display.
5. Press the PTT switch to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
To access a repeater, press and hold in the MONI key for the amount of time specified by the repeater
owner/operator. The transmitter will automatically be activated, and a 1750-Hz audio tone will be
superimposed on the carrier. Once access to the repeater has been gained, you may release the MONI key,
and use the PTT switch for activating the transmitter thereafter.
