callsign (and other stored callsigns). The squelch
of stations that find a match in their Id or memo-
ries will then open, and "READY" will appear
blinking on their display.
If you sent your own Id and it is found in other
stations' memories, the number of that memory
will appear on their displays (so they can deter-
mine who called without having to hear your
voice). If you sent another station's Id, his display
will show "Id", and other's with his callsign in
memory will see that memory number displayed.
Of course, to receive a digital squelch call you
must have D SQL on (press the D SQL button).
Note that you can activate digital squelch this
way at any time: if AQS was off, it will be turned
on automatically, and "D SQL" will be displayed
in reversed white letters.
Your receiver now remains silent until someone
sends one of the callsigns you have stored in the
digital code memories (including your Id). At that
time, your receiver comes to life, displays the
memory number of the received callsign (or "Id",
if it is yours) and "READY" appears blinking on
your display. Furthermore, if they called with a
Channel Access Call (CAC, described below),
your operating frequency will be changed.
When you press your PTT switch to respond to the
call, digital squelch will automatically turn off, as
"READY" stops blinking. When you finish the
QSO (or if you get no response from them), press
RESET once to re-enable the AQS system for
future calls. Also, if your frequency has been
changed (by the CAC function), press RESET
once more to return to your original (AQS calling)
frequency.
Note that Digital Squelch turns off when you
press the PTT button, or the RESET, AQS or D
SQL buttons. The RESET and D SQL buttons
leave AQS active, while the AQS button also
disables AQS.
4.20.4 Storing Group Codes
Up
to ten 5-digit numerical group codes
may
be stored in tone code memories 00
through 09. These are used for channel
access calling (CAC) and digital squelch
monitoring of calls within a group of
stations (such as a club). When a signal
containing an AQS group code is received,
all of those stored in your memories are
checked for a
match. If
found, your
squelch opens and you can monitor (and
respond to) the call.
Storing group codes is similar to storing
callsigns (but simpler);
(1)
Press AQS so that the orange AQS
indicator is displayed, and then press
CLAR[CODE].
(2)
Press the MHz/CH UP and DOWN keys
to select one of digital tone memories
00 through 09 (at the right side of the
display). Notice
that these memories
display five numeric digits (default
zeros), instead of only four.
(3) Press the ENT button. The leftmost
digit will start blinking, indicating
that you can now enter a code.
(4) Use the numeric keypad keys to enter
the 5-digit code used by a group of
which you are a member. This can be
anything from 00001
through 99999,
but must be the same code as entered
by the others in the
group (the
memory
number does not have to be
the same - only the 5-digit code).
