The DCS system was first introduced in the commercial LMR (Land Mobile Radio) ser-
vice, where it is now in widespread use. DCS is sometime referred to by its different propri-
etary names, such as DPL
®
(Digital Private Line
®
, a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc.).
DCS uses a codeword consisting of a 23-bit frame, transmitted (subaudible) at a data rate
of 134.4 bps (bit/sec). Occasionally, signal inversion can result in the complement of a
code being sent or received. This prevents the receiver’s squelch from opening with DCS
enabled, as the decoded bit sequence would not match that selected for operation.
Typical situations that might cause inversion to occur are:
Connection of an external receiver preamplifier.
Operating through a repeater.
Connection of an external linear amplifier.
Note that code inversion does not mean that any of the above listed equipment is defective!
In certain amplifier configurations, the output signal (phase) is inverted from the input. Small
signal or power amplifiers having an odd number (1, 3, 5, etc.) of amplification stages may
result in inversion of a transmitted or received DCS code. While under most circumstances
this should not occur (amplifier designs and industry standards take this into account), if you
find that your receiver squelch does not open when both you and the other station are using a
common DCS code, you or the other station (but not both) can try the following:
1. Press and hold in the [ BANK
] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Set Mode Item 24: DCS INVERSION .
Note : Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
3. Press the [
BANK
] key briefly to enable adjustment of this Set
Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select one of the following modes:
NORMAL : Receive the Normal DCS Tone.
REVERSE : Receive the Inverted DCS Tone.
BOTH : Receive both Normal and Inverted DCS Tones.
5. When you have made your selection, press and hold in the
[
BANK
] key for one second to save the new settings and exit to
normal operation.
This is different from the usual method of restoring normal operation, and it applies only to
the configuration of the CTCSS/DCS frequencies. Remember to restore the default setting
to “
NORMAL
” when done.
