Description
OFF -
Deactivates the tone squelch function and DCS function
OFF, then returns to the normal squelch operation in the An-
alog FM mode.
TONE
appears
Analog FM Transmissions contain the CTCSS tone.
Receives as a normal squelch operation.
TSQL
appears
Activates the CTCSS tone squelch function on Analog FM
receive.
DCS
appears
Activates the Digital Code Squelch (DCS) function.
The DCS code may be selected from 104 codes (from 023 to 754).
RV TN
(Blinks)
Activates the reverse tone function.
Used to monitor communications based on the squelch con-
trol system. When a signal contains the designated tone, the
squelch is not opened, and when the tone signal disappears,
the squelch opens and communication starts.
PR FRQ
(appears)
Activates the no-communication squelch function for radios.
The no-communication signal tone frequencies may be speci-
fied within the range from 300 Hz to 3000 Hz in steps of 100 Hz.
PAGER
(appears)
Activates a new two-tone CTCSS pager function.
When communicating with FT-70DR/DE transceivers among
friends, specify personal codes (each code is composed of
two tones) so that you can call only specific stations.
D CODE
*
(Blinks)
Transmits the signal containing the DCS CODE.
Receives as a normal squelch operation.
T DCS
*
(Blinks)
(appears)
Sends a tone signal when transmitting, and receives the
only signal matches the DCS code when receiving.
D TONE
*
(appears)
(Blinks)
Sends the DCS CODE when transmitting, and receives only
signals that contain a matching tone signal when receiving.

SPL ON ( 40), “D CODE”, “T DCS” and “D TONE” setting
values are activated.
3. Press the PTT switch to save the setting and return to normal operation.
z
The squelch type may be set for each frequency band (BAND).
z
The CTCSS and DCS squelch settings are also active during scanning. If scanning is
performed with the CTCSS and DCS squelch function activated, scanning stops only when a
signal containing the specified CTCSS tone or DCS code is received.
z
Pressing the MONI/T-CALL switch allows signals that do not contain a tone or DCS code,
and signals with different tones, DCS codes, digital mode signals to all be heard.
