Searching for CTCSS/DCS Tones
You can use the CTCSS/DCS tone search mode to determine if the frequencies in your
area are transmitted with associated tones. If the scanner finds a CTCSS or DCS tone, the
type of tone and the frequency flash on the display. Then, if you store that frequency into a
channel, the tone is also stored in the channel.
Notes:
• You can search for CTCSS/DCS tones in scan mode, manual mode, or chain search
mode. You cannot search for CTCSS/DCS tones while the scanner is scanning a
priority channel.
• You might find frequencies that do not have a tone associated with them. This might be
because CTCSS or DCS tones are not being transmitted.
1. If necessary, press PRI to turn off priority scan.
2. Hold down CTCSS/DCS until you hear two short beeps.
CTCSS and DCS appear and
begin to flash. If there is a break before a tone is identified, your scanner searches
where it left off when the transmission begins again. If a CTCSS or DCS tone is found,
the type of tone (
CTCSS or DCS) and the frequency flash.
To exit tone search, press CTCSS/DCS.
