Your repeater may or may not re-transmit a CTCSS tone—somesystems just use CTCSS to control access to the repeater, but don’t pass italong when transmitting. If the S-Meter deflects, but the FT−8800R is notpassing audio, repeat steps 1 through 4 above, but rotate the DIALknob so that ENC is displayed—this will allow you to hear all traffic on thechannel being received.2. You may select the Tone Squelch mode (ENC, ENC.DEC, or DCS) on theMain band using the microphone’s key.DCS Tone SystemAnother form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch (DCS). It is a newer, moreadvanced tone system which generally provides more immunity from false paging than doesCTCSS. The DCS Encoder/Decoder is built into your FT−8800R, and operation is very similarto that just described for CTCSS Tone System on page 30. Your repeater system may beconfigured for DCS; if not, it is frequently quite useful in Simplex operation if your friend(s)use transceivers equipped with this advanced feature.Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS andthat you select a tone code.1. Press the SET key momentarily to enter the Set mode.2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #41 TONE M.3. Press the DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob until DCSappears on the display; this activates the DCS Encoder/Decoder.
