Only when VFO mode is selected, can the detected tone/code be saved to menu 11/10. CTCSS tone and DCS code scanning mode can be accessed with or without a signal being present. The scanning process itself only occurs while a signal is being received. Not all repeaters requiring a CTCSS tone or DCS code for access will transmit one back. In that case, the transmitter of a station that can access the repeater would need to be scanned. In other words: this would be done by listening to stations on the repeater's input frequency.

Press the to begin CTCSS scanning A flashing "CT" will be in the left status display to indicate the radio is in CTCSS scanning mode. In this mode, whenever the radio is receiving an RF signal on the selected MR channel or VFO frequency, the lower display will cycle through the CTCSS tones as they are being tested. Once the frequency of the received CTCSS tone is determined, the "CT" indicator will stop flashing. Press the key to save the scanned tone into memory (VFO Mode Only) then press the key to exit the menu. Don't forget to set VFO menu 11 back to OFF when the CTCSS tone is no longer required. Scanning for a DCS tone (ACTIVE SIGNAL REQUIRED) 1. Press the key to enter the menu. 2. Enter on your numeric keypad to come to Menu 10: R-DCS 3. Press the key to select. 4. Press the to begin DCS scanning A flashing "DCS" will be in the left status display to indicate the radio is in DCS scanning mode. In this mode, whenever the radio is receiving an RF signal on the selected MR channel or VFO frequency, the lower display will cycle through the DCS codes as they are being tested. Once the bits of the received DCS code are determined, the "DCS" indicator will stop flashing.

Don't forget to set VFO menu 10 back to OFF when the DCS tone is no longer required. Dual Watch (TDR) In certain situations, the ability to monitor two channels at once can be a valuable asset. This can be achieved in one of two ways. You can either have one receiver in your radio and flip-flop between two frequencies at a fixed interval (known as Dual Watch), or you can equip a radio with two receivers (known as Dual Receive or Dual VFO. The BTECH UV-2501 / UV-5001 features Dual Watch functionality (single receiver) with the ability to lock the transmit frequency to one of the two channels it monitors. 1. Press the key to enter the menu. 2. Enter “0” on the numeric keypad to get to Dual Watch (TDR). 3. Press to select. 4. Use the and keys to enable or disable. UV-2501 / UV-5001...
