Chapter 6. -Dual Watch
A flashing "DCS" will be in the left status display to indicate the radio is in DCS scanning
mode.
In this mode, whenever the radio is receiving an RF signal on the selected MR channel or
VFO frequency, the lower display will cycle through the DCS codes as they are being
tested. Once the bits of the received DCS code are determined, the "DCS" indicator will
stop flashing.
Press the key to save the scanned tone into memory (VFO Mode Only) then press
the key to exit the manual.
In certain situations, the ability to monitor two channels simultaneously can be a valuable
asset.
The Baofeng UV-5RX3 features Dual Watch functionality with the ability scans between
two frequencies at a fixed intervals and to lock the transmit frequency to one of the two
channels it monitors.
Don't forget to set VFO menu 10 back to OFF when the DCS tone is no longer
required.
