Transmitter CTCSS Testing
MT-4E Transmitters can be programmed, per channel, to generate CTCSS tones internally, or to allow for
External Input of the CTCSS tones from another device (such as a tone-remote adapter).
Connect the 8800 and Zetron Radio as shown in Figure G-27. The Tx Subtone input connection is only required
when testing the External Input. If the internal programming is used to generate the CTCSS tone, disconnect the
Tx Subtone input from the 8800.
On the 8800, load Zetron preset 06 Tx CTCSS from your internal drive. Enter the correct RF frequency on the 8800,
set the MIC MODE switch on the front panel of the transmitter to Analog and flip the other switch to KEY TX (or
set the switch to NORM and key the transmitter through the RSS).
