establish an Internet link (ask your repeater owner/operator if you don’t know the access

 

numbers in the network).

3.With the Internet Connection feature activated (as in step 1 above), the FT-2800Mwill generate a brief (0.2 second) DTMF tone according to your selection in step 2. This DTMF tone is sent at the beginning of every transmission to establish or maintain the link to the remote WIRESTM repeater, while operating in the “SRG” (“Sister Repeater Group”) mode.
