Programmable Microphone Key; Ctcss Tone Search Scanning - Yaesu FT-2600M Operating Manual

CTCSS/DCS S
One of the microphone's "Programmable Keys" (P1, P2, or ACC) may be utilized for
comprehensive control over CTCSS and/or DCS operation.
For the discussion below, let us assume that the [P1] key has been assigned the "T
function, per the instructions on page 53.
(1) When you have chosen the desired operating frequency, press the [P1] key momen-
tarily. The display will indicate "OFF" if no CTCSS or DCS code is currently en-
gaged.
(2) Within three seconds, press the [P1] key as many times as required to activate the
desired Tone mode. The available options are:
E
(CTCSS Encoder)
ED (CTCSS Encoder/Decoder)
DCS (DCS Encoder/Decoder)
OFF
(3) When you have made your selection from the above list, press the microphone's [UP]
or [DWN] key, as many times as required, to select the desired CTCSS Tone Fre-
quency or DCS Code #.
Note: The above procedure may be performed on a VFO frequency, a Memory Channel,
or the H
OME
change" to the original data, which will be discarded. Therefore, you do not need to
"re-memorize" data if you are modifying CTCSS/DCS information on a memory.

In operating situations where you don't know the CTCSS tone being used by another sta-
tion, you can command the radio to listen to the incoming signal and scan in search of the
tone being used.
Before you begin the tone search, please check the (programmable) setting of the microphone's
[ACC] button (Menu #21); it should be set to "TSRCH" for proper operation.
To scan for the CTCSS tone in use:
(1) Set the radio up for the CTCSS operation.
(2) Press the [ACC] button on the microphone momentarily to start scanning for the in-
coming CTCSS tone.
