60 FT-857 Operating ManualSplit Tone OperationThe FT-857 can be configured in a “Split Tone” configuration via the Menu mode.This allows you to encode a CTCSS Tone but decode a DCS code, encode and decodedifferent CTCSS Tones, encode (only) a DCS code, etc.1. Press and hold in the [FUNC] key for one second to enter the Menu mode.2. Rotate the SELECT knob to recall Menu Mode No-001 [EXT MENU], then rotate theDIAL to change the setting to “ON” to enable the extended Menu Mode.3. Rotate the SELECT knob to select Menu Mode No-079 [SPLIT TONE].4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “ON” (to enable the Split Tone feature).5. Press and hold in the [FUNC] key for one second to save the new setting and exit tonormal operation.When the Split Tone feature is activated, the Multi Function Row “e” selection changes to[ENC, DEC, TDCH]. So, you can set the desired encoder (by pressing [A](ENC) key, repeat-edly, if necessary) and decoder (by pressing the [B](DEC) key) separately.When the Split Tone feature is activated, you can see the following additional parameters.T-T: Encodes a CTCSS Tone and Decodes a CTCSS ToneT-D: Encodes a CTCSS Tone and Decodes a DCS CodeT: CTCSS Tone Encode onlyD: DCS Encode onlyD-T: Encodes a DCS Code and Decodes a CTCSS ToneD-D: Encodes a DCS Code and Decodes a DCS CodeD-D: DCS Decode onlyD-T: CTCSS Tone Decode onlySplit Tone Frequency or DCS Code Setup1. Press and hold in the [A](ENC) (if you use CTCSS) or [B](DEC) (if you use DCS) keyfor one second. This instantly recalls Menu Mode No-083 [TONE FREQ] or No-033[DCS CODE].2. Press the SELECT knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the “R” op-tion. This is the tone you Receive, i.e. the “Decode” tone.3. Press the SELECT knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desiredDecode CTCSS frequency (or DCS code).4. Press the SELECT knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the “T” op-tion. This is the tone you Transmit, i.e. the “Encode” tone.5. Press the SELECT knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desiredEncode CTCSS frequency (or DCS code).6. Press and hold in the [FUNC] key for one second to save the new setting and exit tonormal operation.TRANSMITTER OPERATIONFM TRANSMISSION
