SUBAUDIBLE TONE OPERATION
33
■
Tone scan
The transceiver can detect the subaudible tone frequency in a
received signal. By monitoring a signal that is being transmit-
ted on a repeater input frequency, you can determine the tone
frequency required to access the repeater.
q
Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN].
w
Set the desired frequency or memory channel to be
checked for a tone frequency.
e
Push [
(#)
T SCAN] for 2 sec. to start the tone scan.
• To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].
r
When the tone frequency is decoded, the set mode con-
tents are programmed with the tone frequency.
• The tone scan pauses when a tone frequency is detected.
• The decoded tone frequency is used for the tone encoder or tone
encoder/decoder, depending on the the tone squelch ON/OFF
setting.
• “CT” or “RT” appears during tone scan when the tone squelch is
in use or not.
t
Push [VFO] to stop the scan.
■
Pocket beep operation
This function uses subaudible tones for calling and can be
used as a “common pager” to inform you that someone has
called while you were away from the transceiver.
D
Waiting for a call from a specific station
q
Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN].
w
Set the operating frequency.
e
Set the desired CTCSS tone in set mode.
• See the opposite page for a list of available tone frequencies and
programming information.
r
Push [TONE] several times until “ T SQL
S
” appears in
the function display.
t
When a signal with the correct tone is received, the trans-
ceiver emits beep tones for 30 sec. and flashes
“ T SQL
S
.”
y
Push [PTT] to answer or push [
(VFO)
CLR] to stop the beeps
and flashing.
• Tone squelch is automatically selected.
D
Calling a waiting station using pocket beep
A subaudible tone matched with the station’s tone frequency
is necessary. Use the tone squelch on the opposite page or a
subaudible tone encoder.
