quelch, or DCS. It is a newer, more
advanced tone system which generally provides more immunity from false paging than
does CTCSS. The DCS Encoder/Decoder is built into your
FT-250R
, and operation is
very similar to that just described for CTCSS. Your repeater system may be configured for
DCS; if not, it is frequently quite useful in Simplex operation if your friend(s) use trans-
ceivers equipped with this advanced feature.
Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS and that
you select a tone code.

g
Rotate the
DIAL
to select the desired DCS Code (a three-digit number). Ask the re-
peater owner/operator if you don’t know DCS Code; if you are working simplex, just
set up the DCS Code to be the same as that used by your friend(s).
h
When you have made your selection, press the [
F/L
] key to save the new settings and
exit to normal operation.
Remember that the DCS is an Encode/Decode system, so your receiver will remain
muted until a matching DCS code is received on an incoming transmission. Switch the
DCS off when you’re just tuning around the band!
