12 TONE SQUELCH AND POCKET BEEP Tone scan By monitoring a signal that is being operated with pocket beep, tone or DTCS squelch function, you can determine the tone frequency or DTCS code necessary to open the squelch. q Set the desired operating frequency and the desired operating mode. w Push and hold [TONE](M/CALL) for 1 sec. to enter the tone selection state. e Rotate [DIAL] to select either "TONE," "TSQL" or "DTCS" to be scanned, then push [TONE](M/CALL) again. r Push and hold [SCAN](VFO/MHz) to enter scan selection state. • To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL]. t Rotate [DIAL] to select "TONE," then push [SCAN](VFO/ MHz) again to start the tone scan. [DIAL] During repeater tone scan [SCAN] [TONE] During CTCSS frequency scan During DTCS code scan 150 y When the CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit DTCS code is matched, the squelch opens and the tone frequency is temporarily programmed into the selected feature, such as memory or call channel. • The tone scan pauses when a CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit DTCS code is detected. • The decoded CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit DTCS code is used for the tone encoder or tone encoder/decoder, depending on the selected tone condition or type in step e. -"TONE" : Tone encoder for repeater operation -"TSQL" : CTCSS tone encoder/decoder -"DTCS" : DTCS tone encoder/decoder u Push [SCAN](VFO/MHz) to stop the scan. z Set the frequency or memory channel to be T-SCAN checked for a tone frequency. x Selects the tone type to be scanned. • Push [FUNC] then push; [SIMP 9(TSQL)] for tone squelch; [HIGH 4(DTCS)] for DTCS squelch. c Push [FUNC] then [SCAN 2(T-SCAN)] to start the tone scan. v When the tone frequency is matched, the squelch opens and the tone frequency is programmed into the selected mode, such as memory or call channel. b Push [CLR A(MW)] to stop the scan. NOTE: The decoded tone frequency is programmed temporarily when a memory or call channel is selected. However, this will be cleared when the memory/call channel is re-selected.
