Using Dtss With A Repeater; Paging; Paging Operation Overview - Kenwood TH-78A Instruction Manual

5) To transmit, press the PTT switch. The DTSS code is sent for about 0.5 second.
Note
Voice output is muted during code output.
We recommend that you turn off the battery
saver function when you use DTSS.
6) Press the F key, then press the 2 key to cancel the DTSS function.
Note
Although you can select the CTCSS function
simultaneously in both band, an incoming DTSS
code may be lost at certain timings.

Using DTSS with a Repeater

Pressing the PTT switch transmits the DTSS signal after a short delay. The delay helps avoid any malfunction that
might be caused when the repeaters switching times interrupt the DTSS signal.
The normal delay time is 250 milliseconds. When using shift or split channel operation, the delay time is 450
milliseconds. You can change the delay time to 250 milliseconds.
To Change Delay Time
1) Turn the power off.
2) Press and hold the 1 key.
3) Turn the power on.
4) Release the 1 key.

PAGING

Paging uses a DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) signal and is useful in calling members of a group, a specific
station, or for waiting for a call from another station.
You should determine the common group paging code and individual codes in advance. You can enter three-digit
codes from 000 to 999.
