Hi, I work in forestry in BC, Canada and my contractor has in the past always "rented" us these ICOM truck radios. This year we have to provide our own so I bought a Kenwood TM-281a. It seems like a really good radio but I'm very confused.
With the old ICOM, to use repeaters i would just choose the repeater (red, yellow, orange, brown, black, etc.) then choose the tone (1, 2, 3,...9) using the P2 button. On this kenwood I have no clue how to choose the tone. There is a tone button kinda if i press the F button then press the tone button but it looks like that just turns the tone on and off, it doesn't allow me to select which tone.
