DCS Operation

Another form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch,
or DCS. It is a newer, more advanced tone system that is
less susceptible to false triggering than CTCSS. A DCS En-
coder/Decoder is built into your transceiver, and operation
is very similar to that described above for CTCSS.

1. Press the [

F

] key momentarily, then rotate the 

MEM/

VFO CH

 knob, as needed, until Multi Function Row

“e” [

TON

-----

TDCH

] appears on the display.

2. Press the [

A

](

TON

) key four times to activate the DCS

Encoder/Decoder (the “

DCS

” icon will appear on the

display). The receiver will remain muted until a match-
ing DCS code is received on an incoming signal.

3. Press and hold in the [

4. Rotate the

setting and exit to normal operation.

Split Tone Operation

The 

FT-897D

 can be configured in a “Split Tone” configu-

ration via the Menu mode.

This allows you to encode a CTCSS Tone, decode a DCS
code, encode (only) a DCS code, etc.

1. Press and hold in the [

F

] key for one second to enter the

Menu mode.

2. Rotate the 

MEM/VFO CH

 knob to select Menu Mode

.

3. Rotate the 

DIAL

 knob to select “ON” (to enable the Split

Tone feature).

4. Press and hold in the [

F

] key for one second to save the

new setting and exit to normal operation.

When the Split Tone feature is activated, the Multi Function
Row “e” selection changes to [

ENC

DEC

TDCH

]. So, you

can set the desired encoder (by pressing [

A

](

ENC

) key, re-

peatedly, if necessary) and decoder (by pressing the [

B

](

DEC

)

key) separately.

When the Split Tone feature is activated, you can see the
following additional parameters.

2. Press the 

MEM/VFO CH

 knob momentarily, then rotate

the 

DIAL

 knob to select the “

R

” option. This is the tone

you Receive, i.e. the “Decode” tone.

3. Rotate the 

DIAL

 knob to select the desired 

Decode

CTCSS frequency (or DCS code).

4. Press the 

MEM/VFO CH

 knob momentarily, then rotate

the 

DIAL

 knob to select the “

T

” option. This is the tone

you Transmit, i.e. the “Encode” tone.

5. Rotate the 

DIAL

 knob to select the desired 

Encode

CTCSS frequency (or DCS code).

6. Press and hold in the [

F

] key for one second to save the

new setting and exit to normal operation.

5. Press the [

A

](

TON

) key once to cancel DCS operation

(the “

DCS

” icon will disappear).

DCS Search Scanning

In operating situations where you don’t know the DCS code
being used by another station, you can command the radio
to listen to the incoming signal and scan in search of the
code being used.

To scan for the DCS code in use:
1. Press the [

F

] key momentarily, then rotate the 

MEM/

VFO CH

 knob, as needed, until Multi Function Row

“e” [

TON

-----

TDCH

] appears on the display.

2. Press the [

A

](

TON

) key to activate DCS (the “

DCS

” icon

will appear on the display).

3. Press the [

C

](

TDCH

) key to start scanning for the in-

coming DCS code.

4. When the radio detects the cor-

rect DCS code, it will halt on that
code, and audio will be allowed
to pass.

5. The DCS code detected will be stored as the “current”

code, so it may be used for memory storage purposes,
and you may now exit to normal operation.
