    8SUBAUDIBLE TONE OPERATION
    Tone squelch operation
    ◊Operation
    The tone squelch opens only when receiving a signal con-
    taining a matching subaudible tone. You can silently wait for
    calls from group members using the same tone in an ama-
    teur band.
    qSet the operating frequency in FM mode.
    wSet the desired subaudible tone in set mode.
    •See the following section for programming.
    ePush [FUNC] + [(MODE) SET] momentarily to enter set
    mode.
    •Select a non-band scope screen in advance for color LCD.
    rRotate [DIAL] until “Tone Squelch” or “tSqL” appears.
    •“tSqL” disappears after 1 sec. and “to” appears when color LCD
    is OFF.
    tPush [↔] or rotate the tuning dial while pushing [FUNC] to
    select “TSQL” (tone squelch).
    yPush [(MODE) SET] to exit set mode and start the tone
    squelch.
    uWhen the received signal includes a matching tone, the
    squelch opens and the signal can be heard.
    •When the received signal’s tone does not match, tone squelch
    does not open, however, the S-indicator shows signal strength.
    •To open the squelch manually, push and hold [SQL]. (default)
    iTo cancel the tone squelch, repeat steps e–yas de-
    scribed above and select “OFF” in step t.

    oPush [SQL] to stop the beeps and flashing.
    •Tone squelch is automatically selected.
    Tone scan
    The receiver can detect the subaudible tone frequency in a
    received signal. By monitoring a signal that is being transmit-
    ted on a frequency, you can check the tone frequency re-
    quired to access the repeater, or to open the tone squelch.
    qSet the desired frequency or memory channel to be
    checked for a tone frequency.
    wSelect FM mode with [MODE].
    ePush [FUNC] + [↔] for 2 sec. to start the tone scan.
    •To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].
    rWhen the tone frequency is detected, the set mode con-
    tents are programmed with the tone frequency.
    •The tone scan pauses when a tone frequency is detected.
    •The detected tone frequency is used for the tone squelch fre-
    quency.

    9DUPLEX OPERATION
    Duplex communication uses 2 different frequencies for trans-
    mitting and receiving. Generally, duplex is used in communi-
    cation through a repeater, some utility communications, etc.
    During duplex operation, the transmit station frequency is
    shifted from the receive station frequency by the offset fre-
    quency. Repeater information (offset frequency and shift di-
    rection) can be programmed into memory channels. (p. 14)
    This function is not available in the broadcast band (0.495
    –1.620 MHz) except for U.S.A. and Canada versions.
    qSet the receive station frequency (repeater output fre-
    quency).
    wSet the shift direction and offset of the transmit station fre-
    quency as described below.
    ePush and hold [SQL] to monitor the transmit station fre-
    quency (repeater input frequency) directly.◊Duplex shift direction
    qPush [FUNC] + [(MODE) SET] momentarily to enter set
    mode.
    •Select a non-band scope screen in advance for color LCD.
    wRotate [DIAL] until “Duplex” or “dUP” appears.
    •“dUP” disappears after 1 sec. and “dP” appears when color LCD
    is OFF.
    ePush [↔] or rotate the tuning dial while pushing [FUNC] to
    select “–DUP” or “(+)DUP.”
    •“–DUP” or “(+)DUP” indicates the transmit station frequency for
    minus shift or plus shift, respectively.
    rPush [(MODE) SET] to exit set mode.
