For additional details on the following Functions, refer to the Advanced Manual which may be
downloaded from the Yaesu website.
Tone squelch feature
The tone squelch opens the speaker audio only when a signal containing the specified
CTCSS tone is received. By matching the tone frequency with the partner station in ad-
vance, a quiet standby is possible.
Digital Code squelch (DCS) feature
DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) function allows audio to be heard only when signals con-
taining the matching DCS code are received.
PAGER (EPCS) feature
This feature allows calling specified stations only, by using a pager code that combines
two CTCSS tones. Even when the person who is called is not near the transceiver, the
information is displayed on the LCD to indicate that a call was received. When the call is
received, the bell sounds.
Automatic Range Transponder System (ARTS)
The ARTS feature uses DCS signaling to inform both parties when you and another
ARTS equipped station are within communications range.
