Bit different to my usual posts but I needed somewhere to put this! This ’semi’ hidden sequence will put an ICOM 2800h into cross band repeat mode.
Step #1:
Prior to the cross band mode, set the squelch delay to short or the audio for the first 3 seconds will be chopped off in your next transmission.
Step #2:
To start the cross band mode, set the VHF and UHF frequencies you like to link together for cross band operation, (program the splits, PL tone, etc. all in advance)
Step #3: (Main Step)
Press and hold “CHG/L” button while holding both VHF and UHF “MAIN” buttons simultaneously for few seconds until the blinking key icon appears.
Step #4: (This is an optional step)
Set hang up time to ZERO on cross band repeat mode by pressing and holding “CHG/L” button while holding UHF “MAIN” and bottom menu key at VHF side for few seconds. The Key lock indicator will blink, and the unit is ready to operate.
Step #5:
To disable the cross band, repeat the step #3 above until the blinking KEY icon disappears.
