SPECIAL TEST MODES
1. Test Transmission with any DCS or CTCSS: Occasionally it may be
handy to have the repeater send a carrier with any DCS code or
CTCSS tone you wish for various test purposes. First enter the
program mode as previously discussed. Then enter this sequence:
*nnn#99#
Where nnn is the user number that corresponds to the tone or
code you want the TP-154 to transmit. See Table 2. The test
transmission will last as long as you remain in program mode or
until you enter a * or a new command. Don't forget that the TP-
154 will automatically exit program mode three minutes after
the last command. You can occasionally hit any digit except *
or # to extend the test mode time if desired. Enter #### when
you wish to exit program mode.
2. DCS/CTCSS display: While at the site you may wish to have the
front panel display indicate the DCS and CTCSS codes of all
signals heard on the repeater input. Simply enter the following
code while in operate mode:
*nnnnnn*
Where nnnnnn is the same user programmable code sequence used
to enter the programming mode. The difference is that the
program mode access code ends with # while the display mode
sequence ends with *. If the factory programmed access code has
not been changed simply enter *123456* to activate the
DCS/CTCSS display mode.
The display mode is disabled in any of the following ways:
1. By entering #### from your DTMF keypad.
2. By entering programming mode.
3. A built in software timer will automatically turn off the
display mode 30 minutes after it has been enabled.
Note: The TP-154 does not normally display DCS or CTCSS in
operate mode to realize a significant reduction in average
power consumption which is important in solar powered
installations. In some applications a slight buzz in the repeat
audio may be noticeable while in display mode. However this
will go away as soon as display mode is disabled.
3. Display all CTCSS/DCS codes enabled for repeater usage: To
view a list of all CTCSS/DCS codes enabled for repeater use
simply enter the following sequence while in program mode..
*888#
