Five-Tone Programming

Note: Each 5-tone feature is written with the TX and RX programming separate. In most cases, each radio will have both the RX and TX parameters programmed in, but the guide describes the programming separately to avoid confusion.

Programming for 5-Tone Calls with no ID (Muted System) This procedure enables you to call a particular radio (selective call). The receive radio will receive your call but will be unable to tell the identity of the TX radio. Receiving radios are muted to all traffic unless the call is accompanied by the transmitting radio’s 5-tone ID.

The following instructions assume that frequencies, tones, and squelch are set and the radios are in PMR mode (found in the Menu bar under Model). These instructions apply to all Icom radios with PMR capability.

TX Radio:
