DIGITAL CODED SQUELCH (DCS)Digital Code Squelch (DCS) is another application which allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls. It functions thesame way as CTCSS. The only differences are the encode/ decode method and the number of selectable codes. ForDCS, you can select from 104 different codes.USING DCS1 Select your desired band.2 Press [TONE] 3 times to activate the DCS function.• The icon appears on the display when the DCSfunction is ON.• Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows:Tone ( ) ➡ CTCSS ( ) ➡ DCS ( ) ➡ Off (nodisplay).3 Press [F], [T.SEL].• The current DCS code appears on the display and blinks.4 Rotate the Tuning control to select your desired DCScode.• Refer to the table below for the available codes.• To exit the DCS code selection, press [ESC].5 Press any key other than the Tuning control and[ESC] to complete the setting.6 When you are called: The transceiver squelch opensonly when the selected DCS code is received.When you make a call: Press and hold [PTT], thenspeak into the microphone.• To cancel DCS, press [TONE] until DCS no longerappears on the display.You can also select a DCS code by using the microphone:1 Select your desired band.2 Press [TONE] 3 times to activate the DCS function.• The icon appears on the display when the DCSfunction is ON.• Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows:Tone ( ) ➡ CTCSS ( ) ➡ DCS ( ) ➡ Off (nodisplay).3 Press [F], [T.SEL].• The current DCS code appears on the display and blinks.4 Press the key programmed as [ENTER].5 Enter your desired DCS code using the microphonekeypad.• Refer to the table below for DCS codes.DCS Code023 025 026 031 032 036 043 047051 053 054 065 071 072 073 074114 115 116 122 125 131 132 134143 145 152 155 156 162 165 172174 205 212 223 225 226 243 244245 246 251 252 255 261 263 265266 271 274 306 311 315 325 331332 343 346 351 356 364 365 371411 412 413 423 431 432 445 446452 454 455 462 464 465 466 503506 516 523 526 532 546 565 606612 624 627 631 632 654 662 664703 712 723 731 732 734 743 754DCS CODE SCANThis function scans through all DCS codes to identify theincoming DCS code on a received signal. You may find ituseful when you cannot recall the DCS code that the otherpersons in your group are using.1 Press [TONE] 3 times to activate the DCS function.• The icon appears on the display when the DCSfunction is ON.• Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows:Tone ( ) ➡ CTCSS ( ) ➡ DCS ( ) ➡ Off (nodisplay).2 Press [F], [T.SEL] (1s).• The icon blinks and “SCAN” appears on the display.• Scan starts when a signal is received.• To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning controlclockwise (upward scan) or counterclockwise (downwardscan). You can also press microphone [UP]/ [DWN].• To quit the scan, press [ESC].• When a DCS code is identified, the identified codeappears on the display and blinks.3 Press the Tuning control to program the identifiedcode in place of the currently set DCS code.• The DCS function will remain ON. To cancel DCS, press[TONE] until DCS no longer appears on the display.• Press [ESC] if you do not want to program the identified code.• Rotate the Tuning control while an identified code isblinking, to resume scanning.DCS-1
