KEY OPERATIONS
frequency or channel will be switched to the priority channel and the [S]
icon will ash.
Even if the frequency or channel selected before being switched has
a reception channel, the signal received by the priority channel will be
prioritized.
Tone Scan
This function automatically searches for the CTCSS tone an incoming
signal might carry. This feature is useful to search the encoding tone of
a repeater, or to communicate with a station operating in TSQ (CTCSS
squelch) mode.
1.
Press [TS/DCS/LOCK] key to enter CTCSS decode setting mode.
2.
Press [UP]/[DOWN] key for more than 1 second but less than 2
seconds to start scanning. It scans 39 tones in order.
3.
The decimal point on the tone frequency will flash, and it stops
when the matching tone is detected.
4.
The scan won’t resume until the operation is repeated.
5.
Press any key (other than [UP]/[DOWN] keys) to exit.
MEMORY Scan(channel scan)
Scans all memory channels unless Memory skip feature is selected for a
given memory.
1.
In memory modeor channel display mode, press [V/M/MW] key for
1 second to enter into channel scan.
2.
Turn selector knob or press Microphone [UP]/[DOWN] key to
change scan direction.
3.
Press any key to exit.
If there is not channel to be scanned, a beep will sound and
scanning will not start.

DCS SCAN
Repeatedly press [TS/DCS/LOCK] key until LCD displays DCS icons,
then hold [TS/DCS/LOCK] key for 1 second to enter into DCS scanning.
Once nding a matching DCS code, a voice will be heard and resumes
scanning after 15 seconds.

CTCSS/DCS Encode and Decode setup
Many repeaters require a CTCSS tone or a DCS code encode setting as
a “key” to access the system, so-called “selective-calling”. Sometimes,
CTCSS or DCS decode features are used on the output of a repeater
so they can be used as a squelch. In this mode, regardless of the main
squelch status, the audio can be heard ONLY when the matching tone/
code signal is received. The combination of CTCSS squelch and DCS
function is not available; only one or the other may be used for a given
channel.The operation is available on VFO and memory mode. Dealer-
Preprogrammed units can't operate this function manually. In the memory
mode, the setting is temporary; changing the channel or turning off the
radio will erase the setting.
1.
Press [TS/DCS/LOCK] key. The current setting will be displayed
with T/SQ/DCS icons and relative frequency/code. Press the same
key to select T/SQ/DCS setting.
2.
The numbers (such as 88.5) represent the CTCSS frequency in
Hz. When it is displayed with the
icon only, the unit transmits
the sub-audible tone while the PTT is pressed (encode) and the
repeater access is enabled (assuming the repeater is using 88.5Hz
tone).
3.
Press the same key again so that the
icon shows up on the display. This is
the CTCSS decode frequency. This en-
ables CTCSS squelch (or Tone Squelch,
TSQ).
