CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell Operation
During CTCSS Decode, DCS, or EPCS operation, you may set up the VX-120/170 such that
a ringing "bell" sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in. Here is the procedure for
activating the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell:
1.
Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode ("Tone Squelch"), DCS, or EPCS operation,
as described previously.
2.
Adjust the operating frequency to the desired channel.
3.
Press the [F/W] key, then press the [5(BELL)] key.

5.
Press the PTT switch momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
When you are called by a station whose transceiver is sending a CTCSS tone, DCS code, or
CTCSS code pair which matches that set into your Decoder, the Bell will ring in accordance
with this programming.
