Tom,
The tone stays there as long as the repeater is transmitting. Even after
the carrier drops, it's still there. The radios only scan when a carrier is
present, so once you find the right tone (signified by a beep), you simply
press the OK button, which is the menu joystick for the TH-F6A. Btw, this
is all explained in the manual.
