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.

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.

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