DCS Search
When the DCS code being transmitted by another station is not known, you can tune the
radio to the incoming signal and activate DCS code scan to search for and identify the
DCS code being used.
To scan for the DCS in use:
1. Set the transceiver up for DCS operation
(see the description in the box shown be-
low.).
“
DCS
” will appear on the display.
2. Press the Programmable key on the MH-48A6JA Microphone that is assigned “CD
SRCH” (see page 4) to start scanning for the incoming DCS code.
3. When the radio detects the correct code, scanning will halt on that code, and audio will
be allowed to pass.
4. Press the assigned Programmable key of the Microphone to lock in that tone and exit
to normal operation.
Note:
You may listen to the (muted) signals from the other stations during DCS Scanning
when Set Mode Item “
TS MUTE 39
” is set to “OFF”. See page 31 for details.
You can also change the DCS Search scanning speed, using Set Mode Item “
TS
SPEED 40
” See page 32 for details.
