receive mode.
Advice:
 The Repeater operation will be memorized independently on each VFO stack of the
VFO-A and VFO-B.
 The conventional repeater shift used on 29 MHz is 100 kHz, while on the 50 MHz
band the shift may vary between 500 kHz and 1.7 MHz (or more). To program the
proper repeater shift, use Menu items “057 F3E 28 RPT” (28 MHz) and “058 F3E
50 RPT” (50 MHz), as appropriate.
Tone Squelch Operation
You may also use “Tone Squelch” whereby your receiver will be kept silent until an
incoming signal bearing a matching CTCSS tone is receiver. Your receiver’s squelch
will then open in response to the reception of the required tone.
1. Rotate the Main tuning Dial to the output frequency (downlink) from the repeater.
2. Press and hold in the [AM/FM] button for two seconds to engage the CTCSS mode.
3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial to choose “TS” from the available choices of
“OFF”
 “TN (Tone Encoder)”  “TS (Tone Squelch)”  “OFF.”
4. Rotate the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob to select the desired CTCSS Tone to be used. A
total of 50 standard CTCSS tones are provided (see the CTCSS Tone Chart).
5. Press and hold in the [AM/FM] button for two seconds. A “D” notation will indicate
on the “10 Hz” frequency digit in the display that the Tone Decoder is engaged (a
“T” notation will indicate on the “10 Hz” frequency digit while transmitting).
Advice: The Tone Squelch operation will be memorized independently on each VFO
stack of the VFO-A and VFO-B.
Memory Operation
Convenient Memory functions
The FT-950 contains ninety-nine regular memories, labeled “01” through “99,” nine
special programmed limit memory pairs, labeled “P1L/P1U” through “P9L/P9U,” and
five QMB (Quick Memory Bank) memories, labeled “C-1” through “C-5.” Each stores
various settings, not only the VFO-A frequency and mode (See below). By default, the
99 regular memories are contained in one group; however, they can be arranged in up
to six separate groups, if desired.
