DCS CODES
There are 83 “DCS” codes. These are used in the same manor as the “CTCSS”
codes.
To activate the DCS Codes
1.
Press the “F” button repeatedly until the “DCS” icon flashes (usually 5 times).
2. Press the “UP” or “Down” button to select the “DCS” code you desire.
3. Press the “ENTER” button when you have made your selection.
When you enter the program mode with the “F” button, the radio will go back
to operate mode after about 8 seconds if no buttons are pressed.
A code of “00” means no code is programmed.
You must do this for all the channels you want “DCS” codes on.
Turning on the “DCS” code will prevent you from hearing any conversation
that is not using the same “DCS” code. This does not make your conversation
private.

may use a different codes. For operation with other brands of radios the selected
“DCS” value must be the same.
