Paging Answer Back
When you press the PTT switch to respond to a page call, the FT-2900 transmits the
Transmitting CTCSS Tone pair. This tone pair will open the Code Squelch of the calling
station. If you prefer, you can have the FT-2900M respond to page calls automatically
("transpond").
To enable this feature:
1.
Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to
select "33 PAG.ABK."
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 Paging Answer Back feature, just repeat the above procedure,
rotating the DIAL knob to select "OFF" in step 2 above.
CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell Operation
During CTCSS Decode, DCS, or EPCS operation, you may set up the FT-2900R such
that a ringing "bell" sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in. Here is the
procedure for activating the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell:
1.
Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode ("Tone Squelch"), DCS, or EPCS
operation, as described previously.
2.
Adjust the operating frequency to the desired channel.
3.
Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to
select "7 BELL."
4.
Rotate the DIAL knob to set the desired number of rings of the Bell. The available
choices are 1, 3, 5, or 8 rings, CNTNUE (continuous ringing), or OFF.
5.
Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
When you are called by a station whose transceiver is sending a CTCSS tone, DCS code,
or CTCSS code pair which matches that set into your Decoder, the Bell will ring in
accordance with this programming.
When the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell is activated, the "Bell" icon will appear on the
display.
Split Tone Operation
The FT-2900R can be operated in a "Split Tone" configuration, to enable operation on
