Originally developed for telephony systems, it has proved a very versatile tool in many other areas. In two-way radio systems, DTMF is most commonly used for automation systems and remote control. A common example would be in amateur radio repeaters where some repeaters are activated by sending out a DTMF sequence (usually a simple single-digit sequence). DTMF frequencies and corresponding codes 697Hz 770Hz 852Hz 941Hz 1209Hz 1 4 7 * 1336Hz 2 5 8 0 1477Hz 3 6 9 # 1633Hz A B C D The radios has a full implementation of DTMF, including the A, B, C and D codes. The numerical keys, as well as the and keys correspond to the matching DTMF codes. The A, B, C and D codes are located in the , , and keys respectively. To send DTMF codes, press the key(s) corresponding to the message you want to send while holding down the PTT key. DTMF Enc Set a DTMF ID as the default call ID for the current channel. Press the PTT key to transmit the selected DTMF ID. Edit the DTMF ID in Menu or with the PC programing software. 6.3 2Tone Enc Set a 2Tone as the default call ID for the current channel. Press the PTT key to transmit the selected 2Tone. Edit the 2Tone in the PC programing software before it can be selected. 6.4 5Tone Enc Set a 5Tone as the default call ID for the current channel. Press the [PTT] key to transmit the selected 5Tone. Edit the 5Tone in the PC programing software before it can be selected. -22- 6.5 Dual Watch In certain situations, the ability to monitor two channels at once can be a valuable asset. This can be achieved in one of two ways. You can either have one receiver in your radio and flip-flop between two frequencies at a fixed interval (known as Dual Watch), or you can equip a radio with two receivers (known as Dual Receive or Dual VFO). The former method is cheaper to implement and far more common than the latter. The radio features Dual Watch functionality (single receiver) with the ability to lock the transmit frequency to one of the two channels it monitors. Enabling or disabling Dual Watch mode (1) Press the key to enter the main menu. (2) Enter 2 on the numeric keypad to get to Radio Settings. (3) Press the key to confirm, enter 18 on the numeric keypad to get to Dual Watch. (4) Press the key to select. · OFF: Disable the dual-watch function. Turns off the sub channel, and the radio will display the main channel only. The radio will display the channel name, frequency and channel sequence on the same screen. · Double Wait: Enable the dual-watch function. The radio will display and monitor both channel. · Signal Wait: Enable the single-watch function. The radio will display both channel. Transmit and receive on the main channel only, sub Channel disables reception. Sub channel will Display icon. (6) Press the key to confirm. (7) Press to return to the previous menu. Press and hold to switch Double Wait / Signal Wait / Off dual watch mode. 6.6 Manual Programming (Channels Memory) Memory channels are an easy way to store commonly used frequencies so that they can easily be retrieved at a later date. The radios features 999 memory channels that each can hold: Receive and transmit frequencies, transmit power, group signaling information, bandwidth, ANI/ PTT-ID settings and a six character alphanumeric identifier or channel name 1 . Frequency Mode vs. Channel Mode In standby mode, press [VFO/MR] key to switch between frequency (VFO) mode and channel (MR) mode. These two modes have different functions and are often confused. -23- Frequency Mode (VFO): Used for a temporary frequency assignment, such as a test frequency or quick field programming if permitted. Channel Mode (MR): Used for selecting preprogrammed channels. Ex 1. Programming a Channel Repeater Offset with CTCSS Tone EXAMPLE New memory in Channel 28: RX = 432.55000 MHz TX = 437.55000 MHz (This is a (+ 5) Offset) TX CTCSS tone 123.0 (1) Press the key to switch between menus.

(1) Press [VFO/MR] key, the transceiver is set to VFO mode, and the VFO icon will be displayed on the lift. (2) Use the numeric keypad to enter the repeater's output (your receive) frequency. (3) Press [3] [1][3] to get the offset frequency. (4) Use the numeric keypad to enter the specified frequency offset. (5) Press to confirm and save. (6) Press [3] [1][4] to get the offset direction. (7) Use the or keys to select plus (positive) or minus (negative) offset. (8) Press to confirm and save. (9) Optional: a) Save to memory, see the section called "Manual programming" for details. b) Set up CTCSS; see the section called "CTCSS" for details. (10) Press to exit the menu. If everything went well, you should be able to make a test call through the repeater. NOTE: If you're experiencing problems making a connection to the repeater, check your settings and/or go through the procedure again. Certain Amateur Radio repeaters (especially in Europe) use a 1750Hz tone burst to open up the repeater. To see how this is done with the radios, see the section called "1750Hz Tone-burst". If you're still unable to make a connection, contact the person in charge of the radio system with your employer or your local amateur radio club, as the case may be. 6.7 Amateur Radio Setup In contrast with Commercial radio operators, who often need very specific requirements to be compatible with a very specific radio implementation, Amateur radio operators tend to need the broadest possible settings in order to be compatible with as many systems as possible. This basically implies turning all the fancy features that you typically might need for a commercial setup off. In a typical Amateur radio setup the following settings would be recommended: Radio setting -25- · Turn ANI, DTMFST, PTT-ID off and PTT-LT to 0ms (menu items 22 through 24). · Turn off Squelch Tail Elimination (Tail) features (menu items 26). · Turn roger beep (ROGER) off (menu item 10).
