TONE SQUELCH AND POCKET BEEP

By monitoring a signal that is being operated with the
pocket beep, tone or DTCS Squelch function turned
ON, you can determine the tone frequency or DTCS
code necessary to open the squelch.
1. Select a channel to check for a tone frequency or
DTCS code.
2. Push [FUNC], and then push [TONE] several
times, until the icon of desired Tone function is
displayed.

is detected, the squelch opens and the detected
tone frequency is temporarily programmed into
the selected mode.
• The detected CTCSS tone frequency or DTCS
code is used for the tone encoder or decoder,
according to the tone condition or type selected
in step 2.
