    I 2 types of built-in Code Squelch Systems: CTCSS; Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System DTCS; Digital Tone Code Squelch CTCSS* and DTCS* encoder/decoder are standard, providing quiet stand-by. Audio (voice) signals are output only when a sig- nal with a matched CTCSS or DTCS tone signal is received— very helpful for group communications.

  • Page 4: Important

    Alkaline or dry cell batteries may exhaust quickly. In such case, we recommend to replace the batteries, when the “Low Battery” warning appears during transmission. The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair trans- ceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.

  • Page 21 D D CTCSS FIND This transceiver can detect the CTCSS tone frequency in the re- ceived signal. By monitoring a signal that is being transmitted from the other station, you can determine the tone frequency required to communicate with them. This function very useful when you are going to communicate with unknown CTCSS code number stations.
  • Page 22 BASIC OPERATION D D USING THE DTCS CODE This transceiver is equipped with 83 DTCS codes. DTCS operation provides communication with silent standby since you will only re- ceive calls from group members using the same DTCS number. You can assign different numbers to CH 1 to CH 15 independently. q While pushing and holding [PTT], [S-Ring/C-Ring] and [MONI], turn [VOL] to turn the power ON.
  • Page 23 [Example] To assign code ‘261I (Inverse)’ as CH12; q While pushing and holding [PTT], [S-Ring/C-Ring], [MONI], turn [VOL] to turn the power ON. w Select CH 12. e Push and hold [MONI] until a beep (Pi) is emitted. r Push [PTT] twice to choose the 100 digit of the code number. t Push [S-Ring/C-Ring].

  • Page 32: Glossary

    GLOSSARY ✔ What is squelch? A squelch circuit allows you to mute undesired noise while re- ceiving no signal and emit audio while receiving signals. This provides quiet standby. The [MONI] key cancels the squelch setting. This is useful to listen to weak signals that do not open the squelch.

  • Page 33: Glossary

    GLOSSARY ✔ What is CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch Sys- tem) ? CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) allows communication with silent stand by. Only signals containing your group code can open the squelch. This conveniently eliminates unwanted audio and is useful in group activities or security related activities where unwanted output can be a problem.
