■ Tone scan
By monitoring a signal from a repeater, pocket beep or

r When a tone frequency or DTCS code is matched, the
squelch opens and the tone frequency or code is tempo-
rarily programmed into the selected mode.
• When a tone frequency or DTCS code is detected, the tone
scan pauses according to the scan resume setting (p. 30)
• The decoded CTCSS tone frequency or DTCS code is used ac-
cording to the selected tone function type in step
