IC2410.6

This is a document that has been sent to me as a supplement to
the ICOM 2410A/H operator's manual in reference to crossband
repeat functions by ICOM's Technical Support Staff.  I've been
using the crossband repeat function for the last several days and
have found no major problems with this function.  The only
objectionable side effects of this function are a long squelch
tail and having to wait for a repeater to drop before you can
transmit to the crossband repeater.  If anyone has any knowledge
on how to eliminate or lessen these effects, I would appreciate a
reply.  
     Hope this helps out.  And many thanks to Gary (KF7XU) and
LynDel (AA7DG) at ICOM for supplying these documents and their
expertise.  
 
 
                  IC-2410A/H SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
 
MINI REPEATER FUNCTION (SUB BAND REMOTE CONTROL)
OPTIONAL UT-55 NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED  
 
OPERATION:  
1.   Set frequencies on both UHF and VHF.  If necessary set
     transmit offset and tone.  Then sub band remote control mode
     needs to be chosen.  
2.   Sub band remote control mode will be cancelled by sending D
     B * Remote control code and the set will go to mini repeater
     mode.  The identical function will be obtained which is
     described in #3 of "Mini Repeater Function".  
3.   Mini repeater function will be cancelled by the radio going
     to sub band remote control mode.  If pass word has been
     programmed, it is necessary to send a pass word.  Another
     way to cancel mini repeater function is to hold "SET" key on
     the main radio.
