BRS (BUSINESS RADIO SERVICE) CHANNEL OPERATION
CTCSS/DCS Bell Operation
During CTCSS Decoder or DCS Decoder operation, you
may set the VXA-710 up such that a ringing “bell” sound
alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in. Here is the
procedure for activating the CTCSS/DCS Bell:
Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decoder or DCS
Decoder operation, as described previously.
Press the key, then press the key to activate
the Menu (“SET”) mode.
Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select Menu Item
“2. Sound,” then press the key.
Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select Sub Menu
Item “2. Bell,” then press the key.
Press the key again to enable adjustment of this
Menu Item.
Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select “ON” (to en-
able the CTCSS/DCS Bell).
Press the key to save the new setting, then press
the PTT key repetitively until the radio exits to nor-
mal operation.
When the CTCSS/DCS Bell
feature is enabled, the “ ”
icon appears at the bottom
center of the display. When a
station calls you whose transceiver is sending a CTCSS
tone or DCS code which matches that set into your de-
coder, the “ ” icon will blink, the BUSY/TX indicator
will flash in sequential colors, and a ringer will sound to
get your attention.
