CTCSS FREQuency ID

This function scans through all CTCSS frequencies to identify the incoming CTCSS frequency on a received signal. You may find this useful when you cannot recall the CTCSS frequency that the other persons in your group are using.

1Press [TONE] 2 times to activate the CTCSS function.

•The icon appears on the display when the CTCSS function is ON.

•Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows: Tone (T) –> CTCSS (CT) –> DCS (DCS) –> Off (no display).

2Press [F], [TONE] (1s).

•The icon blinks and “SCAN” appears on the display.

•Scan starts when a signal is received.

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

•To quit the scan, press [F] (ESC).

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

3Press the Tuning control to program the identified frequency in place of the currently set CTCSS frequency.

•The CTCSS function will remain ON. To cancel CTCSS, press [TONE] until CT no longer appears on the display.

•Press [F] (ESC) if you do not want to program the identified frequency.

•Rotate the Tuning control while an identified frequency is blinking, to resume scanning.
