SUBAUDIBLE TONE OPERATION
33
■ Tone scan
The transceiver can detect the subaudible tone frequency in a
received signal. By monitoring a signal that is being transmit-
ted on a repeater input frequency, you can determine the tone
frequency required to access the repeater.
q Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN].
w Set the desired frequency or memory channel to be
checked for a tone frequency.
e Push [
(#)TSCAN] for 2 sec. to start the tone scan.
•To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].
r When the tone frequency is decoded, the set mode con-
tents are programmed with the tone frequency.
•The tone scan pauses when a tone frequency is detected.
•The decoded tone frequency is used for the tone encoder or tone
encoder/decoder, depending on the the tone squelch ON/OFF
setting.
•“CT” or “RT” appears during tone scan when the tone squelch is
in use or not.
t Push [VFO] to stop the scan.
■ Pocket beep operation
This function uses subaudible tones for calling and can be
used as a “common pager” to inform you that someone has
called while you were away from the transceiver.
D Waiting for a call from a specific station
q Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN].
w Set the operating frequency.
e Set the desired CTCSS tone in set mode.
•See the opposite page for a list of available tone frequencies and
programming information.
r Push [TONE] several times until “ TSQLS” appears in
the function display.
t When a signal with the correct tone is received, the trans-
ceiver emits beep tones for 30 sec. and flashes
“ TSQLS.”
y Push [PTT] to answer or push [
(VFO)CLR] to stop the beeps
and flashing.
•Tone squelch is automatically selected.
D Calling a waiting station using pocket beep
A subaudible tone matched with the station’s tone frequency
is necessary. Use the tone squelch on the opposite page or a
subaudible tone encoder.
