be adjusted when the menu is set to "OFF". The current CTCSS tone is displayed on the last-but-one
line of the LCD, the legend "
frequency is using the displayed CTCSS tone, this assists manual selection of the correct tone.
To accept the data input
CTCSS tone may be used in VFO (separate CTCSS tones may be held in each VFO) and independent
CTCSS tones saved in each search bank and memory channel.
While in VFO, the legend "CTC" is displayed in the lower left
corner of the LCD to indicate that CTCSS is active. The audio will
be completely muted until a transmission occurs which contains
the specified CTCSS tone even when the squelch is set fully
anti-clockwise (open), it is normal for the occasional 'splutter' to be
produced as 'CTCSS type fingerprints' naturally occur in everyday
transmissions and background noise.
Scan & search banks: It is even possible to scan & search with
the squelch open when CTCSS is active but scan/search rates will
be reduced significantly. To achieve the best speeds, set the
squelch until the "S" legend is extinguished in the usual manner.
Refer to the CTCSS table of available tones:
