› CTCSS-sub-tone setting

The CTCSS sub-tones, are code numbers (from 1 to 38) to be added to the rst

8 channels in order to create a new private channel. You can add up to 38 codes

to the channels named from P1 to P8, that means you can create up to 308 new

channels. For example if you add the CTCSS sub-tone “27” to the channel “P3”

you will obtain the new channel “P327” that will be able to communicate to other

transceivers only if they will be set on the same channel and sub tone.

To activate 38 different CTCSS sub-tones follow these steps:

1. Turn on the radio.

2. Press the “Menu” button and select with the p/q buttons one of the 8 channels

(from P1 to P8).

3. Press twice the “menu” button until the display shows the selected channel with

the ashing two digits CTCSS sub-tone (on the right of the channel)

4. Select with the p/q buttons the desired CTCSS sub-tone (from 1 to 38).

5. To conrm the setting press PTT.

Now the radio transmits and receives using the programmed CTCSS sub-tone. If

you don’t want to use any CTCSS tone, select “00”.

Show the CTCSS-sub-tone on the LCD

When you activate a CTCSS sub-tone, from P1 to P8, the tone is visible just on the

right side of the channel. For the other channels (from 9 up) the CTCSS sub-code is

pre-programmed and then “hidden”. To temporary show a pre-programmed channel

and his CTCSS sub-tone, press the “menu” button for more than 3 seconds.
