■ Tone/DTCS squelch operation
The tone or DTCS squelch opens only when receiving a sig-
nal with the same pre-programmed subaudible tone or DTCS
code, respectively.
q Set the operating frequency.
w Program the CTCSS tone frequency or DTCS code in set
mode.
• See p. 52 for programming details.
e Push [TONE•T-SCAN] several times until “T SQL” or
“DTCS” appears in the function display.
r When a signal with the matched tone is received, the
squelch opens and the signal can be heard.
• When the received signal includes an unmatched tone, the
squelch does not open. However, the S/RF indicator shows the
received signal strength.
• To open the squelch manually, push [MONI•DTMF].
t Operate the transceiver in the normal way (push [PTT] to
transmit; release [PTT] to receive).
y To cancel the tone squelch, push [TONE•T-SCAN] several
times until “T SQL” or “DTCS” disappears.
z Set the operating frequency.
x Program the CTCSS tone frequency or DTCS
code in set mode.
• See p. 52 for programming details.
c Push [FUNC] then [
SIMP 9(TSQL)] or [ HIGH 4(DTCS)]
to turn the tone squelch or DTCS squelch ON.
v When a signal with the matched tone is re-
ceived, the squelch opens and the signal can be
heard.
• When the received signal includes an unmatched
tone, the squelch does not open. However, the S/RF
indicator shows the received signal strength.
• To open the squelch manually, push [ MONI 1(BANK)].
b Operate the transceiver in the normal way (push
[PTT] to transmit; release [PTT] to receive).
n To cancel the tone squelch, push [FUNC] then
[ ENT C(T-OFF)].
• “T SQL” or “DTCS” disappears.
