tones which are stored in the pager memories. Basically, your receiver remains silent
until it receives the CTCSS tone pair that matches those stored in the Receiving Pager
Memory. The squelch then opens so the caller is heard, and the paging ringer
immediately sounds, if activated. When you close the PTT switch to transmit, the
CTCSS tone pair which is stored in the Transmitting Pager Memory will be
transmitted automatically.
On the paged radio, the squelch will close automatically after the incoming page ends.
Storing the CTCSS Tone Pairs for EPCS Operation
1.
Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select "34 PAG.CDR" for the Receiving CTCSS Tone Pair
or "35 PAG.CDT" for the Transmitting CTCSS Tone Pair.
3.
Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode
Item.
4.
Rotate the DIAL knob to set the CTCSS Tone number which corresponds to the
first tone of the CTCSS Tone Pair.
5.
Press the [REV(DW)] or [LOW(A/N)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to set the
CTCSS Tone number which corresponds to the second tone of the CTCSS Tone
Pair.
6.
Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to lock in that tone/code and
exit to normal operation.
R.F. Says: The FT-2900R does not recognize the order of the 1st tone and the 2nd tone.
In other words, for example, the FT-2900 considers both CTCSS pairs "10, 35" and "35,
10" to be identical.
Activating the Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch System
1.
Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to
select "32 PAGER."
2.
Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to set this Menu item to
"ON."
3.
Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
4.
To disable the Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch, just repeat the above procedure,
rotating the DIAL knob to select "OFF" in step 2 above.
When the Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch feature is activated, the "P" notation will
appear at the 100 MHz digit of the frequency display.
