should be the only LED on.

Apply a carrier with a 100 Hz CTCSS tone on the input of the repeater. The COS and the CTCSS LED should come

1.3.2 DEFAULT CTCSS OPERATION
Your repeater controller is shipped with CTCSS disabled for all functions (S-Command ??). The CTCSS LED will show
when the controller is decoding CTCSS, even though this current decode is not being used in the controller operation.
CTCSS is also not required for DTMF controlling. If you need to change this operation, use S-Command ??.
1.4.3 SETTING UP YOUR ID
You are now ready to change the ID message. Your can review section 5.4 for more details on programming messages.
You will be changing message 06, the default ID. This message is your normal ID. The current default ID is “HELLO”
which you will want to change to your call sign. We will first show how “HELLO” is done and then we will do your ID.
You can also use this same technique to modify all other message buffers.
