It is a newer, moreadvanced tone system which generally provides more immunity from false paging thandoes CTCSS. The DCS Encoder/Decoder is built into your FT-2900E, and operation isvery similar to that just described for CTCSS. Your repeater system may be configured forDCS; if not, it is frequently quite useful in Simplex operation if your friend(s) use trans-ceivers equipped with this advanced feature.Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCSand that you select a Tone Code.1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, thenrotate the DIAL knob to select “49 SQL.TYP49 SQL.TYP49 SQL.TYP49 SQL.TYP49 SQL.TYP.”2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob un-til “DCSDCSDCSDCSDCS” appears on the display; this activates the DCSEncoder/Decoder.3. Now press the[MHz(SET)]key momen-tarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to selectMenu “14 DCS CD14 DCS CD14 DCS CD14 DCS CD14 DCS CD.”4. Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily toenable the adjustment of the DCS code.5. R o t a t e t h eDIAL knob toselect the de-sired DCS Code (a three-digit number).6. When you have made your selection, press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for onesecond to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.1)Remember that the DCS is an Encode/Decode system, so your receiver willremain muted until a matching DCS code is received on an incoming transmis-sion. Switch the DCS off when you’re just tuning around the band!2)Press the [REV(DW)] key as described in procedure “6”.You can now set the transmit DCS code. Rotate the DIALknob until the desired DCS code is displayed. “tt” is displayedat the right of the DCS code indication. When the [REV(DW)]key is pushed again “rt” is displayed along with the receive DCS code.3)When the encoder and decoder DCS codes are different, asolid decoder icon and a blinking encoder icon will be dis-played.CTCSS/DCS/EPCS O PERATION: Receive DCS: Transmit DCS
