Te8200 Optional Tone Eliminator Slot Card - AOR AR8200 Manual

use the CTCSS SEARCH facility to discover what
frequency is employed.
Place the AR8200 into VFO mode then
to access the CTCSS menu.
to highlight the "SRCH" legend
then to accept the input and exit
the menu.
The LCD legend "CT-S" will be displayed in the
bottom left corner of the LCD to indicate that CTCSS SEARCH is in operation. While in 2VFO
mode, the standby frequency will be replaced with the legend
"CTCSS 205.5 Hz" when a CTCSS tone of 205.5 Hz has been located, otherwise the appropriate
CTCSS frequency will be displayed.
Each memory channel, VFO and search bank can hold different CTCSS frequencies and different
settings of CTCSS squelch and CTCSS search (i.e. you can have CTCSS search active in VFO but
CTCSS squelch active in memory channels).
If you are uncertain where CTCSS may occur and wish to experiment with CTCSS search, simply
activate the CTCSS SEARCH facility while monitoring a broadcast frequency
(such as Band-II) which has a rich audio range (playing music etc).
Note: As CTCSS search has to check all 50 possible frequencies,
it may take up to 15 seconds for the CTCSS tone to be identified.
