I have an Icom 2730---duel band---50 watts.

I have looked at the Manuel but can't determine when listening to a repeater---how do I search for the correct pl tone?

Some Repeaters do not 'send' a Tone.

Have you looked at repeater directories here or repeaterbook.com or the the ARRL directory? Generally one of these resources is the easiest way to find the PL tone for a repeater.

I believe in that radio you put it in PL decode mode, & make it scan through the tones. When you finally can hear the conversation, it has stopped on the correct PL tone.
