CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digitally Coded

Squelch)

CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch) are squelch quieting systems that allow several groups of users to share the same channel without disturbing each other. The system applies a continuous low-level tone to your transmission and uses a matching tone decoder to control your receiver’s Squelch. With
CTCSS or DCS enabled, the channel remains quiet to all incoming signals unless they carry the correct tone. When a transmission with the correct tone is received, the squelch opens and remains open for as long as the signal is present. When the transmission ends the channel becomes quiet again. Transmissions that do not use the correct tone will not to be heard. There are two tone sets installed in your PRO902 comprising 50 CTCSS and 104 DCS user- selectable tones.
The PRO902 allows CTCSS or DCS to be enabled or disabled on individual channels.
Note: The CTCSS/DCS tone you select will be used for all CTCSS/DCS enabled channels in your radio.

Selecting the CTCSS or DCS

Choosing which tone to use will probably be dependent on the other radios you talk to. If you talk to others outside your group who already use CTCSS or DCS tones you will need
to select the tone that matches theirs.
The PRO902 includes most of the commonly used tone sets. If the users you talk to don’t currently use CTCSS or DCS, choose your own tones.
There is no difference in performance between the two tone sets.
The CTCSS and DCS tones are stored in your radio in a sequential table. The first table location is OFF. The next 50 locations are CTCSS tones followed by 104 DCS tones.
OFF -> CTCSS 01 to CTCSS 50 OFF-> DCS01 to DCS 104

To Select CTCSS Tone

1. Briefly press MENU key to enter the MENU function.

2. Then press ▲ or ▼ in the menu to enter your choice.
   Then press the Lock key on the handset to enter the sub-audio selection menu, then select the category by pressing the handset’s function selection key, ~ represents CTCSS (analog sub-audio), DCS (digital sub-audio), OF represents no sub tone.
   (The unit provides 50 sets of CTCSS and 104 sets of DCS).

3. After selecting the sub-audio category you want to set, press the Lock key to confirm your choice.

4.  Then press the handset function select button to confirm the selection of the desired sub-audio group, and then press to confirm your choice.
   Note: If you select a CTCSS personal code, the previously set code will be canceled. In the channel 5 and channel 35 is not allowed to set sub-audio, this feature is invalid.
   
   Once a DCS or CTCSS code is selected, your radio will now be in “Silent” mode on that channel and will remain muted in that channel unless a signal containing your selected
   CTCC/DCS tone is received. Channels that do not have CTCSS/DCS enabled will remain open to all signals. You may activate CTCSS/DCS on as many channels as you wish except channel 5 which is designated for emergency use

Note: CTCSS/DCS may not work through some repeaters.

To Monitor the Channel

Briefly press the “MON” key. If there are no signals present, you will hear the usual hiss of an empty channel. Press the “MON” key again to restore the Squelch to its previous setting.

Squelch Control

Squelch control is used to eliminate the background noise when there are no signals present. The PRO902 features a preset Squelch system. The Squelch sensitivity has been factory set to provide optimum performance in most environments. The sensitivity can be altered by the user if required to suit varying environmental situations. The Squelch can be opened or closed by pressing the “MON” key. When the Squelch is open, the receiver’s
background noise can be heard and is displayed. When the Squelch is closed, the receiver remains quiet when there are no present signals but an incoming signal will override the squelch and be heard through the speaker.

To Open the Squelch

Briefly press the “MON” key again. A low beep will be heard. If there no signals present you will hear the receiver’s background noise.
To Adjust the Preset Squelch Sensitivity

1.  Briefly press the MENU key to enter the menu .
2. Then press ▲ or ▼ key to select and stop when the LCD display “Sq”, and briefly press the key to confirm and enter squelch sensitivity setting.
3. Then you can press ▲ or ▼ key to choose the squelch sensitivity level you want, and press the key to confirm.
   The default setting is 05 which generally provides reliable squelch operation for most applications.
   

Squelch Sensitivity

The sensitivity of the Squelch to incoming signals can be set to suit your operating environment.
For example, excessively noisy environments may cause the squelch to open on local noise.
The PRO902 has nine preset Squlech sensitivity settings.

Backlight

1. Briefly press the MENU key to enter the menu.
2. Then press ▲ or ▼ key to select and stop when the LCD display “db”, and briefly press the key to confirm and enter backlight setting.
3. Then you can press ▲ or ▼ key to choose the desired backlight color, and briefly press the key to confirm. Select ‘OFF’ or one of the 7 colour options: Green, Red, Yellow, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, White
   

Duplex Operation

Press and hold the MENU key on channels 1-8 and channels 41-48 to enable the Duplex operation.Duplex operation allows the radio to transmit on a different frequency to that which it receives allowing operation through repeater stations. Repeaters automatically retransmit your signal over a wider area providing greatly increased range. Duplex operates only on channels 1-8 & 41-48. When duplex is selected on these channels, the
radio receives on that channel but actually transmits 30 channels higher. In repeater mode, the radio only operates on repeater channels.
