VX-3R OPERATING MANUAL28
CTCSS OPERATION
Many repeater systems require that a very-low-frequency audio tone be superimposed on
your FM carrier in order to activate the repeater. This helps prevent false activation of the
repeater by radar or spurious signals from other transmitters. This tone system, called
“CTCSS” (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System), is included in your VX-3R, and is
very easy to activate.
CTCSS setup involves two actions: setting the Tone Frequency and then set-
ting of the Tone Mode. These actions are set up by using the [MODE] key or
Set Mode Items 79: SQ TYP and 86: TN FRQ.
1. Press the
[
F/W
]
key, then press the
[
MODE
]
key. This provides a “Short-cut” to Set
Mode Item 79:
SQ TYPSQ TYP

SQ TYP.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob so that “
TONETONE
TONETONE
TONE” appears on the display.
This activates the CTCSS Encoder, which allows repeater access.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL
knob.
3. Rotation of the DIAL knob one more “click” in step “2” above will cause the “

notation to appear. When “

TSQLTSQL
TSQL” is displayed, this means that the Tone Squelch sys-
tem is active, which mutes your VX-3Rs receiver until it receives a call from another
radio sending out a matching CTCSS tone. This can helpful in a high RF congested
location by keeping your radio quiet until a call is received from a specific station.
CTCSS/DCS/EPCS OPERATION
You may notice an additional “

knob in step 3 above. We’ll discuss the Digital Code Squelch system shortly.
You may notice “

knob in step 3 above, this means that the Reverse Tone Squelch system is
active, which mutes your VX-3Rs receiver when it receives a call from the
radio sending a matched CTCSS tone. The “ ” icon will blink on the
display when the Reverse Tone Squelch system is activated.
You may notice “

PR FRQ” indication on the display while you rotate the

display when the User programmed Reverse CTCSS Decoder is activated.
You may notice “
