CTCSS FREQ. ID SCAN This function scans through all CTCSS frequencies to identify the incoming CTCSS frequency on the received signal. You may find this useful when you cannot recall the CTCSS frequency that the other persons in your group are using. 1 While the CTCSS function is ON, press [F], [TONE] (1 s) to start the CTCSS Freq. ID Scan function. • To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ]. • To quit the function, press [ ] or [PTT]. • When a CTCSS frequency is identified, the identified frequency appears and blinks. 2 Press [ ] or [MNU] to program the identified frequency in place of the current CTCSS frequency. Otherwise, press [ ] if you do not want to program the identified frequency. • Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] while the identified frequency is blinking to resume scanning.

ID Scan does not scan the tone if a signal is not detected. x If the CTCSS function is activated for both the A and B-band, the scan speed may be slower. 8 SELECTIVE CALL DCS DCS is similar to CTCSS. However, instead of using an analog audio tone, it uses a continuous subaudible digital waveform that represents a 3-digit octal number. You can select a DCS code from among the 104 DCS codes listed in the table below. USING DCS Press [TONE] until "DCS" appears. • Each time you press [TONE], the icon cycles as follows: " " (TONE) © "CT" (CTCSS) © "DCS" (DCS) © " " (OFF) © " " (TONE). When the DCS function is ON, you will hear calls only when the selected DCS code is received. To answer the call, press and hold the PTT switch, then speak into the microphone. Note: You cannot use the DCS function and CTCSS/ Tone functions simultaneously. Switching the DCS function ON after having activated the CTCSS/ Tone functions deactivate the CTCSS/ Tone functions. SELECTING A DCS CODE 1 While in DCS mode {above}, press [F], [TONE]. • The current DCS code appears. 2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select your desired DCS code. • The available DCS codes are shown in the following table. 023 065 132 205 255 331 413 465 612 731 025 071 134 212 261 332 423 466 624 732 026 072 143 223 263 343 431 503 627 734 031 073 145 225 265 346 432 506 631 743 032 074 152 226 266 351 445 516 632 754 036 114 155 243 271 356 446 523 654 043 115 156 244 274 364 452 526 662 047 116 162 245 306 365 454 532 664 051 122 165 246 311 371 455 546 703 053 125 172 251 315 411 462 565 712 054 131 174 252 325 412 464 606 723 3 Press [ ] or [MNU] to store the new setting.

DCS
DCS is similar to CTCSS.
However, instead of using
an analog audio tone, it uses a continuous sub-
audible digital waveform that represents a 3-digit
octal number.
You can select a DCS code from
among the 104 DCS codes listed in the table below.
USING DCS
Press
[TONE]
until “DCS” appears.
•
Each time you press
[TONE]
, the icon cycles as
follows:
“
” (TONE)
“CT” (CTCSS)
“DCS”
(DCS)
“
” (OFF)
“
” (TONE).
When the DCS function is ON, you will hear calls only
when the selected DCS code is received.
To answer
the call, press and hold the
PTT
switch, then speak
into the microphone.
Note:
You cannot use the DCS function and CTCSS/ Tone functions
simultaneously.
Switching the DCS function ON after having
activated the CTCSS/ Tone functions deactivate the CTCSS/ Tone
functions.
