occasionally cause “
TSQ
” to appear. When “
TSQ
” ap-
pears, this means that the Tone SQuelch system is ac-
tive, which mutes your
VXA-700
’s receiver until it
receives a call from another radio sending out a match-
ing CTCSS tone. This can help keep your radio quiet
until a specific call is received, which may be helpful
while operating in congested areas.
r
When you have made your selection of the CTCSS
tone mode, press the
key momentarily, then ro-
tate the
DIAL
selector knob one click clockwise to
select Menu Item (
TONE Set
). This Menu selection
allows setting of the CTCSS tone frequency to be used.
r
Press the
key to enable the adjustment of the
CTCSS frequency.
r
Rotate the
DIAL
selector knob until the display indi-
cates the Tone Frequency you need to be using (ask
the repeater owner/operator if you don’t know the tone
frequency).
r
When you have made your selection, press the
key to save the new setting, then press the
PTT
key
repetitively until the radio exits to normal operation.
Note
: Your repeater may or may not re-transmit a
CTCSS tone - some systems just use CTCSS to con-
trol access to the repeater, but don’t pass it along when
transmitting. If the S-Meter deflects, but the
VXA-700
is not passing audio, repeat steps “1” through “3”
above, but rotate the
DIAL
selector knob so that “
SQL
”
disappears - this will allow you to hear all traffic on
the channel being received.
