BRS (BUSINESS RADIO SERVICE) CHANNEL OPERATIONDCS OperationAnother form of tone access control is Digital CodeSquelch, or DCS. It is a newer, more advanced tone systemwhich generally provides more immunity from falsepaging than does CTCSS Decoder. The DCS Decoder isbuilt into your VXA-710, and operation is very similar tothat just described for CTCSS Decoder.Note: Just as in CTCSS Decoder, DCS Decoder requiresthat you set the Tone Mode to DCS and that you select a“Tone” Code. Press and hold the key for 2 seconds. This instantlyrecalls Menu Item (SQL Type). Press the key again to enable adjustment of thisMenu Item. Rotate the DIAL selector knob until “DCS” appearson the display; this activates the DCS Decoder. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the DIALselector knob two clicks clockwise to select Menu Item(DCS Set). Press the key again to enable adjustment of thisMenu Item. Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select the DCS code(a 3-digit number).When you have made your selection, press thekey to save the new setting, then press the PTT keyrepetitively until the radio exits to normal operation.The “ ” icon will appear at the bottom of the displaywhen the DCS Decoder is activated.Note: The VXA-710 will not“remember” the DCS on/offstatus and DCS Code. If youwould like to maintain theDCS information permanently, we recommend you storethe channel information, including the DCS data, into aMemory Channel. See page 20 for details regardingMemory storage.DCS CODES023 025 026 031 032 036 043 047 051 053054 065 071 072 073 074 114 115 116 122125 131 132 134 143 145 152 155 156 162165 172 174 205 212 223 225 226 243 244245 246 250 251 252 255 261 263 265 266271 274 306 311 315 325 331 332 343 346351 356 364 365 371 411 412 413 423 431432 435 445 446 452 454 455 462 464 465466 503 506 516 523 526 532 546 565 606612 624 627 631 632 654 662 664 703 712723 731 732 734 743 754 – – – –VXA-710 SPIRIT OPERATING MANUAL37
