Many repeater systems require that a very-lowfrequency audio tone be superimposed on your FM carrier in order to activate the repeater. This helps prevent false activation of the repeater by radar or spurious signals from other transmitters. Use the lock button to switch between CTCSS-DCS-OFF. Use the arrow buttons to scroll through tone codes. To toggle between numbered tone codes [EX: 22] and actual tone codes [EX:141.3], press [5] when in tone code menu.* Enter MENU 11 to set C-CDC Tone Coder. 12. RX Tone Coder, Tone Search Scanning, Tone Calling (R-CDC---MENU 12) Function 1: CTCSS/DCS Operation. Many repeater systems require that a very-lowfrequency audio tone be superimposed on your FM carrier in order to activate the repeater. This helps prevent false activation of the repeater by radar or spurious signals from other 21 DETAILED FUNCTION DESCRIPTION transmitters. Enter MENU 12 to set R-CDC Tone Coder. 13. TX Tone Coder, Tone Search Scanning, Tone Calling (T-CDC---MENU 13) Function 1: CTCSS/DCS Operation.
