while operating in congested areas.
Note: You may notice an additional “DCS” icon ap-
pearing while you rotate the DIAL selector knob in
this step. We’ll discuss the Digital Code Squelch sys-
tem shortly.
When you have made your selection of the CTCSS
Tone Mode, press the key momentarily, then ro-
tate the DIAL selector knob one click clockwise to
select Menu Item (TONE Set). This Menu selection
allows setting of the CCTCSS Tone Frequency to be
used.
Press the key to enable the adjustment of the
CTCSS Tone Frequency.
Rotate the DIAL selector knob until the display indi-
cates the CTCSS Tone Frequency you need to be us-

When you have made your selection, press the
key to save the new setting, then press the PTT key
repetitively until the radio exits to normal operation.
The “ ” icon will appear
at the bottom of the display

activated.
Note: The VXA-710 will not “remember” the CTCSS Tone
Mode and Tone Frequency. If you would like to maintain
the CTCSS information permanently, we recommend you
store the channel information, including the CTCSS data,
into a Memory Channel. See page 20 for details regarding
Memory storage.
