Hi Tom,
I was talking to a local ham last week and he said, " have you tried
DCS?" I said no, but I was willing to give it a try. He then told me
to tgo to DCS mode and sselect the same encoded number that he was
using. I did that, and we were in business.
IF you tap the tone button on your tmv71A, you'll notice that there are
four settings. The low beep default setting is off, the first high beep
is ctcss for transmit only. The second beep is for both receive and
transmit ctcss. The third beep is DCS. Just like with the other
squelch modes, if you first push the function button and then the tone
button, you can set the DCS code you want to use. After you've found
the code you want, just hit the tone button again and that sets the DCS
to the DCS code number you selected.
