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:
Memory Ch
Field Setting / Description
CH Mute Mute options depend on radio model:
Cont (not muted) or SGL (muted until call is received)
Or (not muted) or AND (muted until call is received)
Switch Action » Call Set to Audible
5Tone Signaling » Form Set to EIA
5Tone Signaling » STN Set to 1. Points to 1st line in the TX Code CH window: target
Radio’s 5 Tone code
TX Code CH (under 5 Tone):

Line 1 Target radio ID
Line 2, 3… 5-tone for multiple target radios
Key and Display (under Common)

Key » P0-P3 Assign a key (right-click Conventional field to access
menu) for the following functions:
TX Code CH Select— Enters the Code Select mode so

that you can select a target radio from the TX Code
Channel list.
TX Code CH Up—Allows you to scroll through the target

radio list and select a radio. (As an alternative, you can
also use the Up/Down keys to scroll.)
Call—Sends the 5-tone signal to the target radio.

To Make a call
To call a specific radio (selective call):
1. Press the assigned TX Code CH Select key to enter the select mode.
2. Press the assigned TX Code Up key (or up/down keys) to scroll and select the target radio.
3. Press the assigned Call key. This sends the target radio’s 5-tone code.
RX Radio:

Programming for 5-Tone Calls with PTT ID (Muted System)
This procedure enables you to call a particular radio and send your radio’s numeric ID. The receive radio will
receive your call and your numeric ID will appear on its display. Radios will hear only traffic directed to that
particular radio.
TX Radio:
Memory Ch
SGL (muted until call is received)
AND (muted until call is received)
5Tone Signaling » ID Set a line to TX radio’s ID code (this radio)
5Tone Signaling » POS Set to BTM (Sends STN and ID codes together.)

Line 28 TX radio ID (this radio’s ID) This ID is sent along with the
target radio ID
TX Code Setting (under 5 Tone)

Timer » Displayed Digit Enter the digits you want displayed. For example: Send
98765, but if you only want 765 to show on this radios
display, enter “345”. Now the last 3 digits of any 5 tone ID
will be displayed.

off) the PTT key
5Tone Signaling » ID Set to 28. Points to 28th line in the TX Code CH window:
target Radio’s 5 Tone code. You can use any line, but
setting to line 28 allows you to use lines 1-27 for other call
features.

Line 28 Enter this radio’s ID.
This ID will always be a 5-digit number ending in the same

number for all the radios in the system. This allows all
radios to recognize each radio’s PTT ID (see RX Code CH).

To Make a call
Press PTT to send the tone. The TX PTT ID will flash continuously on the RX radio(s).
RX Radio:
Memory Ch
5Tone Signaling » RX C.No Set to 1. Points to 1st line in the RX Code CH window: This
is where the RX radio sees the TX Radio’s ID.

Line 1 » RX Code Enter ++++9. The +’s are wildcards, allowing the radio to
see any first 4 digits. The “9” is the qualifier (0-8 will work
also). This last digit must match the same last digit of the TX
radio ID.

Timer » Compare Digit Enter the digits you want displayed. For example: Send
98769, but if you only want 9876 to show on this radio’s
display, enter 1234. Now the first 4 digits of any 5 tone ID
will be displayed.
8
Programming for 5-Tone Emergency with ID
This procedure enables you to send an emergency signal to a particular radio (or dispatch) and send your
radio’s ID.
TX Radio
Memory Ch
ATR Assign dedicated channel as “E” for emergency
5Tone Signaling » STN Set to 1. Points to 1st line in the TX Code CH window: All

Key » Emergency Assign the emergency key as Emergency Single or
Emergency Repeat.
Common (under Common or Emergency, depending on model)

Emergency » Emer SW ON Sets how long the emergency key must be pressed to send
an emergency signal
Emergency » Emer SW OFF Sets how long the emergency key must be pressed to
cancel an emergency signal.
Emergency » Start/Repeat Timer Select the delay interval before the radio will send an
emergency signal, and the time between repeat emergency
signals (if emergency repeat is programmed).

To Make an Emergency Call
To call a specific radio (or dispatch):
Press and hold the assigned Emergency Key for 2 seconds. The RX radio beeps as it forewarns you of the
upcoming emergency call.
The radio diverts to the Emergency channel (as assigned in ATR) and sends the 5- tone signal.

10
Programming Kill/Stun/Revive in 5-Tone
This procedure enables you to kill or stun a selected radio. Revive is also available on some models. A stunned
radio can be revived by cycling power and entering a password; a killed radio must be re-cloned to be revived.
TX radio

Unused lines » Sel Set all unused lines to OFF so that you don’t have to scroll
through them when selecting a Code.


Channel list.

Call—Sends the 5-tone signal and Kill/Stun command to the

target radio.
11
To Kill a Radio
1. Press the assigned TX Code CH Select key. The first radio entered in the TX Code CH displays.
2. Press the assigned TX Code Up key to scroll and select a target radio other than the radio displayed in
step 1. On some models, you may also use the Up/Down keys on the radio.
3. Press the assigned Call key. This sends the target radio’s 5-tone code and Kill command.
RX Radio:
Memory Ch
RX Radio’s Kill or Stun ID

Line 1 » RX Code RX radio Kill or Stun ID (from Memory Ch window)
Line 1 » Text Add text, such as “Killed”
Line 1 » Stun Select Kill or Stun from this menu
12
Programming PTT ID with DTMF Tone ID in 5-Tone
This procedure enables you to send DTMF tones as PTT ID to be decoded by the target radios as 5-tone.
Note: Using DTMF in 5 tone format works the same as any other formats, but in many models, the radio will
require a UT108/R option board in the receiving radio. Check your model specifications for details.
TX radio
Memory Ch
Cont (not muted)
Or (not muted)
Log-In/Off Set to L-IN or L-OFF. This sends the DTMF signal when
you press or release PTT.
5Tone Signaling » Form Set to DTMF.
5Tone Signaling » ID Set ID on line 28. This is TX radio’s ID code (this radio)

Line 28 TX radio ID (this radio’s ID). This ID number will be a 5 digit
ID ALWAYS ending with the same number for all radios in
the system. For example: radio number 2378 will have
23787 entered. All radios in your system will end with the
“7”. When you TX, the radio sends the ID (2378 and a 7)
with every log in or off.
13
To send PTT ID
Press PTT to send the tone. The TX PTT ID will flash continuously on the RX radio(s).
RX Radio:
Memory Ch
5Tone Signaling » Form Set to DTMF
TX Radio’s ID.

Line 1 » RX Code Line 1= Enter in a “ ++++7” . The plus’s are place holders
which allows the RX radio to see any first 4 numbers TX’d
in 5-Tone mode. The “7” is the qualifier and tells the RX
radio to look at the 1st 4 digits. All radios involved need the 7
at the end.

Compare Digit Sets which digits you want displayed on the RX radio
display. For example: In receiving ID 23787, if you want the
display too show the “378” part of the ID, enter in 234 (these
are the digit spaces you want displayed)
14
Programming Select Call with DTMF in 5-Tone
This procedure enables you to call a particular radio (selective call) using DTMF tones. The receive radio will
decode the tones.
Note: the receiving radio must have the UT-108 DTMF decoder board installed.
