CTCSS tone when changing FM satellite

[Martin Kessel]

Hi - I'm using Skyroof 1.29 with an Icom 9700 and skycatd 1.6

On the whole, this program is superb, especially the FT4 integration.

The only issue I have, is that the when using FM sats, if you change sat, the tone is turned off. The put it back on, you have to stop skycatd, manually reset the tone then re-start skycatd. Is this the only way to  get the ctcss tone to come back on or am I missing something?

thanks

I do not use FM satellites, so I can only quote what one of the users suggesged:

Q: How do I prevent CTCSS from turning off when using SkyRoof with FM satellites and an Icom radio?

A: If you're experiencing an issue where the CTCSS tone turns off when transmitting or changing frequencies with SkyRoof and an Icom radio, the solution is to disable the "Auto Repeater" setting in the radio. This setting causes the radio to automatically disable repeater-related features like CTCSS when the frequency is changed, assuming you're no longer on a repeater. Disabling "Auto Repeater" prevents this behavior and keeps CTCSS enabled during frequency changes. This workaround was highlighted in a helpful YouTube video.

Thanks for the quick reply, but that option is, I believe, only in the USA version of the Radio - I don't have that option in my menu (sadly!)
