Ctcss/Dcs Bell Operation - Yaesu FT-252 Operating Manual

9. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the
desired DCS Code (a three-digit num-
ber). Ask the repeater owner/operator if
you don't know DCS Code; if you are
working simplex, just set up the DCS
Code to be the same as that used by
your friend(s).
10. When you have made your selection,
press the [ SET/ATS ] key, then press
the PTT switch to save the new set-
tings and exit to normal operation.
Remember that the DCS is an Encode/Decode system, so your receiver will remain
muted until a matching DCS code is received on an incoming transmission. Switch
the DCS off when you're just tuning around the band!
During CTCSS Decode or DCS operation, you may set up the FT-252 such that a ring-
ing "bell" sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in. Here is the procedure for
activating the CTCSS/DCS Bell:
1. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode ("Tone Squelch") or DCS operation, as
described previously.
2. Adjust the operating frequency to the desired channel.
3. Press the [ SET/ATS ] key to enter the Set mode.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob or press the [ p ] / [ q ] key to select
Set Mode Item 8:
5. Press the [ SET/ATS ] key momentarily to enable adjust-
ment of this Item.
6. Rotate the DIAL knob or press the [ p ] / [ q ] key to set the desired number of rings of
the Bell. The available choices are "
or " " rings,
8 T
7. Press the PTT switch momentarily to save the new setting
and exit to normal operation.
When you are called by a station whose transceiver is sending
a CTCSS tone or DCS code which matches that set into your
Decoder, the Bell will ring in accordance with this program-
ming. When the CTCSS/DCS Bell is activated, the " " icon
will appear at the upper right corner on the LCD.
