GRE PSR-295 Owner's Manual page 16

There are two ways you can program your scanner to
operate with CTCSS and DCS. If you know the CTCSS
and DCS code that is used on a particular frequency,
you can manually enter the code when you are program-
ming the scanner, or any time afterwards.
You can also set a special search code up that will de-
code the CTCSS and DCS code on a received transmis-
sion. Channels programmed with the search code will
receive all traffic on the channel, and will decode and
display any CTCSS or DCS code that is found with the
transmission. You can then store the found code in the
channel memory with one keystroke.
This section of the manual describes the process for con-
figuring a memory channel for CTCSS or DCS operation
and manually programming a known code. For more in-
formation on using the CTCSS and DCS feature while
scanning, see "Using CTCSS and DCS" on Page 28.
To program channel memories for CTCSS or DCS op-
eration, follow these steps.
1. First, enter a conventional frequency. See "Storing
Known Frequencies into Channels" on Page 14.
2. Once you have entered the frequency, press MODE
until the desired mode appears in the upper left hand
corner of the display. Use CT for CTCSS, and DC for
DCS.
3. By default, the search code (indicated with CT:Search
in the bottom of the display) is programmed. To pro-
gram a specific code, press FUNC, MODE, and then
use the arrow keys to scroll to the desired CTCSS or
DCS code. You can also use the keypad to enter the
code manually. Note that the scanner will automati-
cally fill the code field as you enter the code.
4. Once the desired code is selected, press ENTER to
store the code in the channel memory.
5. It is possible to program memory channels for CTCSS
or DCS operation at any time. Simply place the scan-
ner in program mode, navigate to the channel you
wish to change, and follow the steps above.
6. When stopped on an active conventional channel while
scanning, you can press MODE to cycle through the
valid modes for that channel, including CTCSS and
DCS. This will reset any stored CT or DC code to the
search code, allowing you to easily check for other
CT or DC codes that may be present on the frequency.
