Digital Coded Squelch is similar to CTCSS, but instead of differentiating codes
using frequencies, DCS always uses the same frequency but encodes it with a
binary value. When you select this option, the scanner only opens squelch when a
matching DCS value is present on the frequency.
3:OFF
The scanner opens squelch regardless of the presence of tones.
Note:
If, instead of pressing
E
to select a tone you press
L/O
, the scanner will stop on any
transmission except for those with the selected tone.

6:STEPS
The channel frequency step option controls the frequency step size used when you manually
tune up or down from the frequency stored in the channel. Your BC796D is preprogrammed
with the most common steps sizes for each band, so you seldom need to change this
setting.
