CTCSS/DCS Operation
9. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the
desired DCS Code (a three-digit num-
ber). 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).
10. When you have made your selection,
press the
[
SET/ATS
]
key, then press
the
PTT
switch to save the new set-
tings 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 transmission. Switch
the DCS off when you’re just tuning around the band!
CTCSS/DCS Bell Operation
During CTCSS Decode or DCS operation, you may set up the
FT-257
such that a ring-
ing “bell” sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in. Here is the procedure for
activating the CTCSS/DCS Bell:
1. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode (“Tone Squelch”) or DCS operation, as
described previously.
2. Adjust the operating frequency to the desired channel.
3. Press the
[
SET/ATS
]
key to enter the Set mode.
4. Rotate the
DIAL
knob or press the
[
p
]
/
[
q
]
key to select
Set Mode Item 8:
BELL
.
5. Press the
[
SET/ATS
]
key momentarily to enable adjust-
ment of this Item.
6. Rotate the
DIAL
knob or press the
[
p
]
/
[
q
]
key to set the desired number of rings of
the Bell. The available choices are
1 T
,”
3 T
,”
5 T
,”
or “
8 T
” rings,
CONT
(continuous ringing), or
OFF
.
7. Press the
PTT
switch momentarily to save the new setting
and exit to normal operation.
When you are called by a station whose transceiver is sending
a CTCSS tone or DCS code which matches that set into your
Decoder, the Bell will ring in accordance with this program-
ming. When the CTCSS/DCS Bell is activated, the icon
will appear at the upper right corner on the LCD.
