Tone Calling (1750 Hz) - Yaesu VX-8GE Operating Manual

CTCSS/DCS/EPCS V
1) The vibrator operation can be set independently on each operating band
of both VFO A and VFO B.
2) When the vibrator is activated, press any key, rotate the DIAL knob, or
during a transmission, the vibrator will halt temporarily. The "under line" or "dashed
line" under the mode icon will blink during this pause. Five seconds after any of the
above operations, the vibrator will resume.
If the repeaters in your country require a 1750-Hz burst tone for access (typically in Eu-
rope), you can set the e key to serve as a "Tone Call" switch instead. To change the
configuration of this switch, we again use the Menu to help us.
1. Press and hold the m key for one second to enter the Set Mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 56: MONI/T-
CALL.
3. Press the m key briefly to enable adjustment of this Set
Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select "T-CALL" on the display.
5. Press the PTT switch briefly to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
To access a repeater, press and hold in the e key for the amount
of time specified by the repeater owner/operator. The transmitter will automatically be
activated, and a 1750-Hz audio tone will be superimposed on the carrier. Once access to
the repeater has been gained, you may release the e key, and use the PTT switch for
activating the transmitter.
