I'm new to GMRS, read the manual for my TD-H3 GMRS radio, and am confused on the usage\purpose of menu items 32 R-TONE,  52 (200TX), 53 (350TX), and 54 (500TX). Will someone please explain how or when to use these menu items or direct me to a good resource? 

Thank you!

This is more helpful than the booklet. I hate tiny booklets.

 

"1750Hz Repeater Tone (R-TONE) – Menu No.32
With this function you can select IO00Hz, l 450Hz, l 750Hz, 2100Hz repeater tone. To send out a repeater tone; You hold down the [PTT] + [ LAMP ] key.
If you have the keypad lock enabled on your radio, you can still send al 750Hz tone the regular way without having to unlock your radio."

I get over 48 hours on time with a good amount of receiving and light transmitting in the wake hours.  I think it's great to get a full day out of them no matter what you do.

I generally run the power save on 1:3 and with mostly monitoring but with a significant amount of transmitting too... I think I get two days or more out of a battery charge. I also bought the two radio set that came with an extra battery for each of the radios so... I really never worry about running out of power.
