4. When you have made your selection of the CTCSS tone mode, press the key to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
5. Press the key, then press the key. This provides a “Short-cut” to Set Mode
Item 99: TONE FREQUENCY 99: TONE FREQUENCY 99: TONE FREQUENCY 99: TONE FREQUENCY 99: TONE FREQUENCY .
6. Rotate the DIAL knob until the display indicates the fre-
quency of the CTCSS tone that you need to send on your
transmission (ask the repeater owner/operator if you don’t
know the tone frequency).
7. When you have made your selection, press the key briefly to save the new setting
and exit to normal operation. This is different from the usual method of restoring
normal operation, and it applies only to the configuration of the CTCSS/DCS fre-
quencies.
1) The repeater may or may not
re-transmit a CTCSS tone - some
systems just use CTCSS to control
access to the repeater, but do not pass it along
when transmitting. If the S-Meter deflects,
but you cannot hear the audio, repeat steps
“1” through “4” above, but rotate the DIAL
so that “TSQ” disappears - this will allow
you to hear all traffic on the channel being
received.
2) During CTCSS operation, you may set up the VX-8R so a ringing “bell” sound alerts
you to an incoming call. See page 42 for details.
