PERATION

Another form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch, 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 

VX-7R

, 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.

1.

Press the 

 key, then press the 

 key. This provides a “Short-cut” to Menu Item

(

TSQ

/

DCS

/

DTMF #1: SQL TYPE

).

2.

Press the 

 or 

 key until “

DCS

” appears on the dis-

play; this activates the DCS Encoder/Decoder.

3.

Now rotate the 

DIAL

 to select Menu Item (

TSQ

/

DCS

/

DTMF #3: DCS SET

).

4.

Press the 

 key to enable the adjustment of the DCS

code.

5.

Press the 

 or 

 key to select the desired DCS Code

(a three-digit number). Ask the repeater 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).

6.

When you have made your selection, press the 

 key, then press the 

PTT

 switch 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 trans-
mission. Switch the DCS off when you’re just tuning around the band!
