[. . . ] The front half of the case high-impact polycarbonate plastic, while the transceiver chassis/heat sink is die-cast alloy. A choice of 4 rechargeable Ni-Cd packs or a dry cell battery case are available. Rubber gaskets protect against dust and rain or spray. The LCD (display) has selectable lighting modes, and shows all significant frequency digits and most programmable functions, plus relative signal strength and power output. [. . . ] Hold the knob for % second, then turn it to display r:n!lE -03-, m Press the knob momentarily, then turn it so that CI~I appears at the right. If this memory has been named previously, that name now appears at the left. n Press the knob again momentarily; SE t appears to the right, with an blinking underline cursor appearing at the left-most digit location. Turn the knob to select a character. 1 i / \ -\ - I/ `I' \-. ---. - _- . _ . ___ ----J m With the desired character displayed, press the knob momentarily. The cursor moves one digit to the right. Turn the knob to select the next character. Memory Masking You can mask stored memories from selection and display. Stored data remains and can be restored, until you overwrite it or reset the CPU. You can also restore unused memories, in which case you will find they are set to the bottom edge of the band. You can use this feature to easily check which memories you have not yet stored. You cannot hide [ I( - I (this memory must always be accessible). CTCSS Tone Squelch Note - CTCSS decode (tone squelch) operation requires the optional FTT-12 keypad, and a@ cannot be selected until the unit is installed. , . . -. -. . -_-. . _ To activate CTCSS or DCS operation, press a: 88 (encode) appears when the CTCSS tone generator is activated for transmission only. E@EI (encode & decode) appears when the CTCSS tone squelch is activated for both tx & rx (only signals "encoded" with the matching tone open the squelch). m appears when the digital code squelch system (tx & rx) is active. To select a CTCSS tone: 0 Press e5, as needed, to select @ or iil&I operation. Press &-%e3, to display the default tone at CTCSS am (Cont'lnuous Tone Coded Squelch System) This imposes a continuous, subaudible tone on your transmitted audio. When decoded at the other station, this allows their squelch to open and receive your transmission. Some "closed" repeaters use this the right side of the display. to limit access, or to prevent signals intended for other repeaters (with the same input frequency) in fringe areas from locking up the repeater. There are 39 selectable CTCSS tones. --_-- -. "_^ . ___ DCS m (Digital Coded Squelch) DCS operation modulates a subaudible tone according to a digital protocol (continuous 32-bit synchronous code). DCS is widely used in the commercial land-mobile industry for its high performance and 104 codes (offers greater privacy than CTCSS). To use either CTCSS or DCS, both stations must be on the same frequency, and have selected the same CTCSS tone or DCS code. m Next, turn the knob to select the desired tone (see the table on the next page), then press ~~ to exit. To select a DCS code: fl Press c'i, as needed, to select &!BY operation.
