CTCSS FREQ. ID SCAN
This function scans through all CTCSS frequencies to
identify the incoming CTCSS frequency on the
received signal. You may find this useful when you
cannot recall the CTCSS frequency that the other
persons in your group are using.
1 While the CTCSS function is ON, press [TONE]
(1 s) to start the CTCSS Freq. ID Scan function.
•
To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning
control or press [ ]/ [ ].
To quit the function, press [t t t t t ].
•
•
When a CTCSS frequency is identified, the
identified frequency appears and blinks.
2 Press [s s s s s ] or [MNU] to program the identified
frequency in place of the current CTCSS
frequency. Otherwise, press [t t t t t ] if you do not
want to program the identified frequency.
•
Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] while
the identified frequency is blinking to resume
scanning.

DCS (Digital Coded Squelch)
DCS is similar to CTCSS. However, instead of using
an analog signal, it uses a continuous sub-audible
digital wave form that represents a 3-digit octal
number. You can select a DCS code from among the
104 DCS codes listed in the table below.
USING DCS
1 Press [TONE] until "DCS" appears.
•
Each time you press [TONE], the icon cycles
as follows: "T" (TONE)
"DCS" (DCS)
When the DCS function is ON, you will hear calls only
when the selected DCS code is received. To answer
the call, press and hold the PTT switch, then speak
into the microphone.
Note: You cannot use the DCS funtion and CTCSS/ Tone functions
simultaneously. Switching the DCS function ON after having
activated the CTCSS/ Tone functions deactivate the CTCSS/ Tone
functions.
