Kenwood TM-V708A instruction manual 10CTCSS FREQUENCY ID

When using a MC-58DM, you can also use its keypad to select a CTCSS frequency. First program one of the Mic PF keys as the ENTER key {page 59}. In step 3 (above), press [ENTER], then enter 01 to 38 to select the frequencies listed in the table on page 28. To select 79.7 Hz, for example, press [ENTER], [0], [5].

Note:

◆You can select a separate tone frequency for the CTCSS and Tone functions.

◆You cannot use CTCSS with the Tone and DCS functions.

◆If you select a high tone frequency, receiving audio or noise that contains the same frequency portions may cause CTCSS to function incorrectly. To prevent noise from causing this problem, select an appropriate noise squelch level {page 20}.

•Scan starts when signals are received.

•To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control clockwise (upward scan) or counterclockwise (downward scan). You can also press Mic [UP]/ [DWN].

•To end this function, press [ESC].

•When the CTCSS frequency is identified, the identified frequency appears and blinks.

4Press [OK] to program the identified frequency in place of the currently set CTCSS frequency.

•The CTCSS function will remain ON. You can press [TONE] to switch the CTCSS function OFF.
