CTCSS/DCS Bell Paging
During CTCSS Decode or DCS operation, you may set up the FT-2800M such that a ring-
ing “bell” sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in. Here is the procedure for
activating the CTCSS/DCS Bell:
1. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode (“Tone Squelch”) or DCS operation, as de-
scribed previously.
2. Adjust the operating frequency to the desired channel.
3. Press and hold in the [
MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second, then rotate the
DIAL
knob to
select “
04 BELL
.”
4. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to set the desired number of rings of the Bell. The available
choices are
1
,
3
,
5
, or
8
rings,
REPEAT
(continuous ringing), or
OFF
.
5. Press and hold in the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to
normal operation.
When you are called by a station whose transceiver is sending a CTCSS tone or DCS code
which matches that set into your Decoder, the Bell will ring in accordance with this pro-
gramming.
Split Tone Operation
The FT-2800M can be operated in a “Split Tone” configuration, to enable operation on
repeaters using a mix of both CTCSS and DCS control. To do this:
1. Press and hold in the [

knob to
select “
28 SQ TYP
.”
2. Press the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key, then rotate the
DIAL knob to select the desired operating mode:
DC ENC
: DCS Encode only (“
DC
” icon will appear while operating)
T+DCS
: Encodes a CTCSS Tone and Decodes a DCS code
(the “
T
” and “
DCS
” icons will appear during operation)
TSQ+DC
: Encodes a DCS code and Decodes a CTCSS Tone
(the “ TSQ ” and “ DC ” icons will appear during operation)
3. Press the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key momentarily, then rotate the
DIAL knob one click counter-
clockwise to select Menu “
