Re: IC-7000 2 Meter Rpt Problem Transmit but doesn't open the repeater ?

Another owner has commented about this.  His finding was that the transmit audio needs to be opened up at the low end to allow the so-called "sub-audible" tones to pass.  I seem to remember that the lowest possible tone is 67.0 Hz.

I use specific Icom 2m/70cm rigs instead of their HF rigs for mobile VHF/UHF use.

Dave,

The repeater requires a tone. It seems that most do with the default tone being 100.0 Hz.

I have had my 7000 for 11 great years but never tried 2M repeater work. I have confirmed the radio transmits on the input frequency but will not key the repeater. Have triple check parameters ( doesn't mean it is still operator error).
using my Yaseu FT-530 I can use the repeater ( which I guess just provesI can use the 530.)

Could the tone generating capability not be working? Seems very unlikely.

Any help appreciated.
