Digital Coded Squelch (Dcs); Using Dcs; Dcs Code Scan - Kenwood TM-D710A (K type) Instruction Manual

Digital Code Squelch (DCS) is another application which allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls. It functions the
same way as CTCSS. The only differences are the encode/ decode method and the number of selectable codes. For
DCS, you can select from 104 different codes.

USING DCS

1 Select your desired band.
2 Press [TONE] 3 times to activate the DCS function.
• The icon appears on the display when the DCS
function is ON.
• Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows:
➡
Tone ( ) CTCSS (
display).
3 Press [F], [T.SEL].
• The current DCS code appears on the display and blinks.
4 Rotate the Tuning control to select your desired DCS
code.
• Refer to the table below for the available codes.
• To exit the DCS code selection, press [ESC].
5 Press any key other than the Tuning control and
[ESC] to complete the setting.
6 When you are called: The transceiver squelch opens
only when the selected DCS code is received.
When you make a call: Press and hold [PTT], then
speak into the microphone.
• To cancel DCS, press [TONE] until DCS no longer
appears on the display.
You can also select a DCS code by using the microphone:
1 Select your desired band.
2 Press [TONE] 3 times to activate the DCS function.
• The icon appears on the display when the DCS
function is ON.
• Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows:
➡
Tone ( ) CTCSS (
display).
3 Press [F], [T.SEL].
• The current DCS code appears on the display and blinks.
4 Press the key programmed as [ENTER].

DCS CODE SCAN

This function scans through all DCS codes to identify the
incoming DCS code on a received signal. You may find it
useful when you cannot recall the DCS code that the other
persons in your group are using.
1 Press [TONE] 3 times to activate the DCS function.
• The icon appears on the display when the DCS
function is ON.
• Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows:
➡
Tone ( )
display).
2 Press [F], [T.SEL] (1s).
• The icon blinks and "SCAN" appears on the display.
• Scan starts when a signal is received.
• To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control
clockwise (upward scan) or counterclockwise (downward
scan). You can also press microphone [UP]/ [DWN].
• To quit the scan, press [ESC].
• When a DCS code is identified, the identified code
appears on the display and blinks.
3 Press the Tuning control to program the identified
code in place of the currently set DCS code.
• The DCS function will remain ON. To cancel DCS, press
[TONE] until DCS no longer appears on the display.
• Press [ESC] if you do not want to program the identified code.
• Rotate the Tuning control while an identified code is
blinking, to resume scanning.
