TONE SQUELCH AND POCKET BEEP
Tone scan
By monitoring a signal that is being operated with the
pocket beep, tone or DTCS Squelch function turned
ON, you can determine the tone frequency or DTCS
code necessary to open the squelch.
q Set a frequency or select a memory channel to check
for a tone frequency or DTCS code.
w Push [FUNC](M), and then push [TONE](1) several
times, until the icon of desired Tone function is dis-
played.
• For the CTCSS tone scan:
The scan starts without selecting a tone function.
e Push [FUNC](M), and then push [T.SCAN](3) to start
the tone scan.
• To change the scan direction, push [Y] or [Z].
r When the CTCSS tone frequency or DTCS code is
detected, the squelch opens and the detected tone
frequency is temporarily programmed into the select-
ed mode.
• The detected CTCSS tone frequency or DTCS code is
used for the tone encoder or decoder, depending on the
tone condition or type selected in step w.
