VX-6R/E OPERATING MANUAL30
CTCSS/DCS BELL OPERATION
During CTCSS Decode or DCS operation, you may set up the VX-6R/E 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 Bell:
1. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode (“Tone Squelch”) or DCS operation, as
described previously.
2. Adjust the operating frequency to the desired channel.
3. Press the
[
F/W
]
key, then press the
[
0
(
SET
)]
key to enter the Set mode.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 8: BELL.
5. Press the
[
0
(
SET
)]
key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Set Mode Item.
6. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the desired number of rings of the
Bell. The available choices are “1,” “3,” “5,” or “8” rings,
“CONT” (continuous ringing), or “OFF.”
7. Press the PTT switch momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal opera-
tion.
When you are called by a station whose transceiver is sending a CTCSS tone or DCS code
which matches that set into your Decoder, the Bell will ring in accor-
dance with this programming. When the CTCSS/DCS Bell is acti-
vated, the “ ” icon will appear at the upper right corner on the LCD.
