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 on the next page.

Using DCS

1Press [MENU] and turn the Tuning control to select Menu No. 2 (T.CT.DCS).

2Press [MENU] and turn the Tuning control to select “DCS”.

•As you turn the Tuning control, the selection cycles as follows: “OFF” ➞ “TONE” ➞ “CTCSS” ➞ “DCS” ➞ “OFF”.

3Press [MENU].

•“DCS” appears on the display, indicating that the DCS function is activated.

4Press any key other than [MENU], [MONI/SQL], and [LAMP] to exit the Menu Mode.

When DCS is ON, you will hear calls only when the selected DCS code is received. To answer the call, press and hold [PTT], 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.
