CTCSS/DCS/EPCS O
CTCSS/DCS/EPCS V
The CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Vibrator operation is similar to the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS BELL
operation. The CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Vibratory operation inform you that a call is coming
in by vibration, during CTCSS Decode, DCS, or EPCS operation. Here is the procedure
for activating the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Vibrator:
1. Set the operating frequency to the desired channel.
2. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode ("Tone Squelch"), DCS, or EPCS opera-
tion, as described previously.
3. Press and hold the m key for one second to enter the Set Mode.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 97: VIBRA-
TOR.
5. Press the m key briefly to enable adjustment of this Set
Mode Item.
6. Rotate the DIAL knob to select "SIGNALING".
Note: When this item is set to "BUSY", the VX-8GR/GE
vibrates when any signal is received without regard to the
CTCSS, DCS, or EPCS decoder.
7. Press the m key briefly, then rotate the DIAL knob one
click clockwise to select Set Mode Item 98: VIBRATOR
MODE.
8. Press the m key briefly to enable adjustment of this Menu
Item.
9. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the desired vibrating mode.
The available choices are:
MODE1: The VX-8GR/GE vibrates continuously.
MODE2: The VX-8GR/GE vibrates at a long interval.
MODE3: The VX-8GR/GE vibrates at a short interval.
10. Press the PTT switch briefly to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
When you are called by a station whose transceiver is sending a CTCSS tone, DCS code,
or CTCSS tone pair which matches that set into your Decoder, the VX-8GR/GE will
vibrate in accordance with this programming.
When the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Vibrator operation is activated,
the "dashed line" will appear under the mode icon.
To disable the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Vibrator operation, select the
setting of Set Mode Item 97: VIBRATOR to "OFF".
