Repeater Tones
• There are 16 California State
wide standard tones but there are
32 tones pre-set in the radio.
• To access them, simply press the
button that corresponds to the
tone your need.
• If you hear a beep while trying to
access a tone, another tone has
already been pre-programmed
and you will not be able to
change it. Unless by a computer.
• The tone number will be visible
in the display under the channel
name.

Repeater Tones
• In a nut shell, a repeater tone is a sub-audible tone
that is broadcasted as soon as you press the push
to talk button and “unlocks” the repeater for use. If
you do not have the proper tone for that repeater, it
will not operate correctly.
• Most Fire Departments use the same transmit and
receive frequencies but use different tones in order
to access more than one repeater.
