CTCSS/DCS/EPCS BELL OPERATION
During CTCSS Decode, DCS, or EPCS operation, you may set up the FT-2900R such that
a ringing “bell” sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in. Here is the procedure for
activating the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell:
1. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode (“Tone Squelch”), DCS, or EPCS operation,
as described previously.
2. Adjust the operating frequency to the desired channel.
3. Press and hold in the

When you are called by a station whose transceiver is sending a CTCSS tone, DCS code, or
CTCSS code pair which matches that set into your Decoder, the Bell will ring in accordance
with this programming.
When the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell is activated, the “ ” icon
will appear on the display.
