The FT
DX
9000 Contest may be utilized on 29 MHz and 50 MHz repeaters.
1. Rotate the Main tuning Dial to the output frequency
(downlink) from the repeater.
2. If CTCSS Tone operation is desired/needed, press and
hold in the FM Mode key (#
) for two seconds to
engage the CTCSS mode.
3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob (#
) to select
the desired CTCSS mode. If you just need to send the
uplink encoding tone, select “
tn
.” For encode/decode
operation, choose “
ts
” instead.
The available choices are
“OFF”
“tn”
“ts”
“OFF.”
4. Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B knob (#
) to select the
desired CTCSS Tone to be used. A total of 50 stan-
dard CTCSS tones are provided (see the CTCSS Tone
Chart).
5. Press the FM Mode key to select the desired re-
peater shift direction.
The selections are
“S”
“+”
“
−
”
“S”
where “S” represents “Simplex” operation (not used
on a repeater).
6. Press and hold in the FM Mode key for two sec-
onds to exit from the repeater setup mode.
7. Close the microphone’s PTT switch (or press the
MOX switch (#
)) to begin transmission. You will
observe that the frequency has shifted to correspond
to the programming you set up in the previous steps.
Speak into the microphone in a normal voice level,
and release the PTT or MOX switch to return to the
receive mode.
Advice
The conventional repeater shift used on 29 MHz is 100
kHz, while on the 50 MHz band the shift may vary be-
tween 500 kHz and 1.7 kHz (or more). To program the
proper repeater shift, use Menu items “
MODE-FM 060
RPT SHIFT(28 MHz)
” and “
MODE-FM 061 RPT
SHIFT(50 MHz)
,” as appropriate.
You may also use “Tone Squelch” whereby your receiver will be kept silent until an incoming signal bearing a
matching CTCSS tone is receiver. Your receiver's squelch will then open in response to the reception of the required
tone.
