Rotate the
DIAL
knob until the display indicates the fre-
quency of the CTCSS tone that you need to send on your
transmission (ask the repeater owner/operator if you don’t
know the tone frequency).
7.
When you have made your selection, press the
2
key briefly to save the new setting
and exit to normal operation. This is different from the usual method of restoring
normal operation, and it applies only to the configuration of the CTCSS/DCS fre-
quencies.
1) The repeater may or may not
re-transmit a CTCSS tone - some
systems just use CTCSS to control
access to the repeater, but do not pass it along
when transmitting. If the S-Meter deflects,
but you cannot hear the audio, repeat steps
“1” through “4” above, but rotate the DIAL
so that “TSQ” disappears - this will allow
you to hear all traffic on the channel being
received.
2) During CTCSS operation, you may set up the VX-8GE so a ringing “bell” sound
alerts you to an incoming call. See page 37 for details.
3) You may set up the VX-8GE so a vibration alerts you to an incoming call, during
CTCSS operation. See page 40 for details.
