FM DCS OPERATION
Digital Code Squelch (DCS) is another FM application
which allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls.
It functions the same way as CTCSS. The only
differences are the encode/ decode method and the
number of selectable codes. For DCS, you can select
from 104 different codes listed in the table below.
1 Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B.
•“tA” or “tB” appears to show which VFO is
selected.
2 Select a band.
3 Select an operating frequency.
4 Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select FM mode.
• “FM” appears.
5 Turn the SQL control to adjust the squelch.
6 Press [•/ DCS/SEL] to switch the DCS function
ON (or OFF).
• “DCS” appears when the function is ON.
7 Press [FUNC], [•/ DCS/SEL].
• The current DCS code appears. The default is
023.
8 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the
appropriate DCS code.
• The available DCS codes are listed in the
following table.

the setting.
You will hear calls only when the selected code is
received. To answer the call, press [SEND] or press
and hold Mic [PTT], then speak into the microphone.
Skip steps 7 to 9 if you have already programmed the
appropriate DCS code.
Note: You cannot use DCS with the Tone or CTCSS functions.
DCS CODE ID SCAN
This function scans through all DCS codes to identify
the incoming DCS code on a received signal. You
may find this useful when you cannot recall the DCS
code that the other persons in your group are using.
1 Press [FUNC], [•/ DCS/SEL].
• The current DCS code appears.
2 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to activate the DCS Code
ID scan.
• “DCS” blinks and every DCS code is scanned.
When the DCS code is identified, the
transceiver stops scanning and the identified
DCS ID is displayed.
• Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to resume scanning.
• Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to stop scanning while
the DCS code ID scan is active.
Note: Received signals are audible while scanning is in progress.
