Programming Tones in Repeater Mode
The FR5000/6000 uses standard analog CTCSS tones and DTCS tones. When in digital mode, the repeater
uses RAN codes. RAN Codes are digital equivalents to CTCSS tones. The codes are decimal, and range from
0 to 63. If you want squelch open to be able to receive all RANs, enter 0. This code allows all RAN codes to be
received and will retransmit using the code that is programmed for transmit in that channel.
When programming tones, the first step is programming tones in the Multiple Table. Here you can enter all
tones/codes: CTCSS, DTCS, and digital RAN codes. This table allows you to assign up to 16 tone sets to a
channel.
1. Navigate to the Multiple Table.
2. Enter the number of the table in the Table No. field that applies to that particular channel
(frequency set).
3. Enter Digital or Analog, then set the desired tones.
4. Navigate to the Memory CH window.
5. Enter the number of the Multiple Table in the Multi Table No. field that you want assigned to your
channel.
