Ctcss/Dcs/Epcs Bell Operation; Split Tone Operation - Yaesu FT-2980E Operating Manual

CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell Operation

During CTCSS Decode, DCS, or EPCS operation, you may set up the FT-2980R/E 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 opera-
tion, as described previously.
2. Adjust the operating frequency to the desired channel.
3. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second,
then rotate the DIAL knob to select " 7 BELL ".
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the desired number of rings
of the Bell. The available choices are 1 , 3 , 5 , or 8 rings,
CNTNUE (continuous ringing), or OFF .
5. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second 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.
When the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell is activated, the " " icon
will appear on the display.

Split Tone Operation

The FT-2980R/E can be operated in a "Split Tone" configuration, to enable operation on
repeaters using a mix of both CTCSS and DCS control via the Set mode.
1. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second,
then rotate the DIAL knob to select " 48 SPLIT ".
2. Press the [ MHz ( SET )] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to
set this Menu item to " ON " (to enable the Split Tone fea-
ture).
3. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
When the Split Tone feature is activated, you can see the following additional parameters
following the "RV TN" parameter (while selecting the tone mode by Set mode item "49 SQL.
TYP"):
D CODE : DCS Encode only (the "DCS" icon will blink during operation)
T DCS : Encodes a CTCSS Tone and Decodes a DCS code
(the "T" icon will blink and the "DCS" icon will appear during operation)
D TONE : Encodes a DCS code and Decodes a CTCSS Tone
(the "T SQ" icon will appear and "DCS" icons will blink during operation)
Select the desired operating mode from the selections shown above.
