PL (generated in the 7000) is sent out with your transmitted signal to open the repeater receiver.
I can’t think of any need to route it through a Signalink.
Computer keys the Signalink that keys the 7000. 7000 sends PL (subduable tone).
Try setting the tone and open the repeater, with just the radio.

Hello all.? I am new to the group and have an issue with my IC-7000.? Specifically, I cannot find a way to route the TX PL tone through the 6-pin mini-DIN Data port in FM mode (I've tried TONE and TSQL with no joy). ?
Why do I care?? Our local emcomm group practices sending digital messages through the local VHF-FM repeater.? The repeater requires a PL tone to retransmit/repeat.? Without the PL tone, I have nothing to offer but dead air.
It has been suggested that I use the 13-pin ACC port instead of the mini-DIN.? I don't have the cable to connect that port to my SignaLink; before I buy the cable, I'd like to know that it will pass the PL tone.? Further, the ACC port presents another issue ("hot mic") that I would like to avoid.
To cut to the chase:
1. Does anyone know how to get the 7000 Data port to pass the TX PL tone in FM mode? ?
2. If the Data port is a no-go, does the ACC port pass the TX PL tone?
TNX,
Tony KF3AK
