During CTCSS Decode, DCS, or EPCS operation, you may set up the
VX-177
such that a
ringing “bell” sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in. Here is the procedure for
activating the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell:

tion, as described previously.

rings,
CONT
(continuous ringing), or
OFF
.

PTT
switch momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal opera-

When you are called by a station whose transceiver is sending a CTCSS tone, DCS code,
or CTCSS code pair which matches that set into your Decoder, the
Bell will ring in accordance with this programming. When the CTCSS/
DCS/EPCS Bell is activated, the “
