Ctcss Bell Operation 2J; Tone Calling (1750-Hz Tone Burst) - Yaesu VX-1R Manual

CTCSS Bell Operation
You can set the VX-!R to "ring" when a signal with
a matching CTCSS tone is received during CTCSS
Tone Squelch operation. Here is the procedure for
activating the CTCSS Bell:
0
Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode (Tone
Squelch) operation, as described on page 20. Notice

ever Tone Squelch operation is enabled.

e
momentarily to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
When a station sends a CTCSS tone that matches
your selected CTCSS Tone Frequency, the bell rings
as programmed, and
1'
flashes at the lower right (so
you can tell if someone called while you were away).
When you press the PTT switch to respond, the 1'
stops flashing. However, the ringer does not com-
pletely reset for another 5 seconds, so you can con-
duct your conversation without interruption. When
the other station does not respond to you within that
period, the ringer resets to respond to the next call.
Tone Calling (1750-Hz Tone Burst)
If the repeaters in your country require a 1750-Hz
burst tone for access (typically in Europe), you can
set the Monitor switch to serve as a "Tone Call"
switch instead. To change the function of this switch,
again use the Menu.

To access a repeater, hold the Monitor switch for
the amount of time specified by the repeater
owner/operator. The transmitter is automatically
activated, and a 1750-Hz audio tone is sent. Once
you have accessed the repeater, use the PTT switch
to transmit.
