■

Tone/DTCS squelch operation

The tone or DTCS squelch opens only when receiving a sig-
nal with the same pre-programmed subaudible tone or DTCS
code, respectively.

q

Set the operating frequency.

w

Program the CTCSS tone frequency or DTCS code in set
mode.

• See p. 52 for programming details.

e

Push [TONE•T-SCAN] several times until “T SQL” or
“DTCS” appears in the function display.

r

When a signal with the matched tone is received, the
squelch opens and the signal can be heard.

• When the received signal includes an unmatched tone, the

squelch does not open. However, the S/RF indicator shows the
received signal strength.

• To open the squelch manually, push [MONI•DTMF].

t

Operate the transceiver in the normal way (push [PTT] to
transmit; release [PTT] to receive).

y

To cancel the tone squelch, push [TONE•T-SCAN] several
times until “T SQL” or “DTCS” disappears.

z

Set the operating frequency.

x

Program the CTCSS tone frequency or DTCS
code in set mode.

• See p. 52 for programming details.

c

Push [FUNC] then [

SIMP

9(TSQL)] or [

HIGH

4(DTCS)]

to turn the tone squelch or DTCS squelch ON.

v

When a signal with the matched tone is re-
ceived, the squelch opens and the signal can be
heard.

• When the received signal includes an unmatched

tone, the squelch does not open. However, the S/RF
indicator shows the received signal strength.

• To open the squelch manually, push [

MONI

1(BANK)].

b

Operate the transceiver in the normal way (push
[PTT] to transmit; release [PTT] to receive).

n

To cancel the tone squelch, push [FUNC] then
[

ENT

C(T-OFF)].

• “T SQL” or “DTCS” disappears.
