6.3 Tone Scanning
Scanning for CTCSS and DCS Tones/Codes
Scanning for a CTCSS tone or DCS code can be done while Frequency Mode (VFO) or Channel Mode (MR) is selected. Only
when VFO mode is selected, can the detected tone/code be saved to menu 11/10.
CTCSS tone and DCS code scanning mode can be accessed with or without a signal being present. The scanning process itself
only occurs while a signal is being received.
Not all repeaters requiring a CTCSS tone or DCS code for access will transmit one back. In that case, the transmi
tt
er of a
sta
ti
on that can access the repeater would need to be scanned. In other words: this would be done by listening to sta
ti
ons on
the repeater's input frequency.
