"active" status (except for CHANNEL 1,
which cannot be hidden).
Hidden channels will show "-- --" in place
of the various field entries, and they are not
available for operation. However, they are
still stored in "hidden" form for possible re-
call later.
Note: Any entries or changes made to the
Rx Freq. field will also be applied to the Tx
Freq. field, so you may need to edit that field
after making any changes here.
4-2: Tx Freq. (Edit Transmit Frequency)
Use the 0 - 9 keys to enter the desired chan-
nel frequency directly, and press [ENTER].
The frequency entered will be adjusted au-
tomatically if it does not conform to the
"CHANNEL STEP" parameter, and will be
adjusted to the nearest "valid" step. You do
not need to enter all eight digits of the fre-
quency; empty digits to the right will be set
to "0" when you press [ENTER]. Pressing [.]
("period") after several digits forces those
digits to be "MHz" digits. If you press [.]
before entering any digits, only the "kHz"
digits will be changed.
Note: The Transmit Frequency is automati-
cally copied from the Receive Frequency's
column, so any changes you have made to
the Tx Freq. field will be LOST if the Rx Freq.
field is modified. Therefore, you should set
the Rx Freq. field data first, then edit the Tx
Freq. field.
5. CTCSS/DCS Decoders and Encoders
5-1: CTCSS Decoder
(Toggles CTCSS Decoder ON/OFF, Sets CTCSS Freq.)
Press the SPACE bar to toggle the CTCSS
Decoder ON or OFF, or press [ENTER] to
display the TONE SELECT window, from
which you may select a CTCSS frequency
using the Arrow keys; press [ENTER] again
to accept the selected tone, or press [ESC]
to cancel.
If you know the CTCSS frequency you want
(the precise value), you can enter it directly
using the 0 - 9 keys and the [.] ("period") key.
When the desired CTCSS frequency is dis-
16
played, press [ENTER] to accept this value.
If you keyed in an invalid frequency (not
among the "standard" CTCSS tone list), the
TONE SELECT window will appear, with
the nearest valid CTCSS frequency pre-se-
lected.
Turning CTCSS ON turns DCS OFF (since
both cannot be ON). CTCSS cannot be se-
lected for use if ARTS is enabled (ARTS uses
DCS only).
5-2: DCS Decoder
(Toggles DCS Decoder ON/OFF, Sets DCS Code #)
Press the SPACE bar to toggle the DCS De-
coder ON or OFF, or press [ENTER] to dis-
play the CODE SELECT window, from
which you may select a DCS code using the
Arrow keys; press [ENTER] again to accept
the selected code, or press [ESC] to cancel.
If you know the three-digit DCS code you
want, you can enter it directly using the 0 -
9 keys. When the desired DCS code is dis-
played, press [ENTER] to accept this value.
If you keyed in an invalid code number (not
among the "standard" DCS code list), the
CODE SELECT window will appear, with
the nearest valid DCS code number pre-se-
lected.
Turning the DCS Decoder ON turns CTC-
SS OFF (since both cannot be ON). DCS En-
code and Decode are both required for
ARTS operation.
5-3: CTCSS Encoder
(Toggles CTCSS Encoder ON/OFF, Sets CTCSS Freq.)
Press the SPACE bar to toggle the CTCSS
Encoder ON or OFF, or press [ENTER] to
display the TONE SELECT window, from
which you may select a CTCSS frequency
using the Arrow keys; press [ENTER] again
to accept the selected tone, or press [ESC]
to cancel.
If you know the CTCSS frequency you want
(the precise value), you can enter it directly
using the 0 - 9 keys and the [.] ("period") key.
When the desired CTCSS frequency is dis-
played, press [ENTER] to accept this value.
If you keyed in an invalid frequency (not
