Refer to section 6.3 on page 23 for more information. 3.2 TOP PANEL CONTROLS/FUNCTIONS (1) BNC ANTENNA CONNECTOR You should attach a suitable Dual-Band antenna that will yield a low SWR. The antenna connected should satisfy both the 2 meter and 70 cm (440Mhz) band. (2) VHF VOLUME CONTROL Adjusts the VHF audio level. Rotate control clockwise to increase volume , and counter clockwise to decrease. (3) VHF SQUELCH Start by turning the knob fully counter clockwise, then rotate the knob back clockwise until background noise is silent. (4) POWER ON/OFF AND UHF VOLUME CONTROL Power is not applied to the radio when the POWER knob is fully counter clockwise. When the POWER knob is rotated clockwise, power is applied to the radio and volume for the UHF band may be adjusted. (5) UHF SQUELCH Start by turning the knob fully counter clockwise, then rotate the knob back clockwise until background noise is silent. (6) MAIN TUNING DIAL Press the VHF or UHF key to select the main band. The main tuning dial/knob may be rotated in either direction to select transmit and receive frequencies, frequency steps, sub-audible tones and transmit frequency offsets. If the FUNC key is pressed and held, an "F" will appear on the LCD display. The frequency will increase/decrease by one Mhz depending on the direction of the tuning knob rotation. (7) SPEAKER JACK An external speaker rated at 8 ohms may be plugged into this jack. The built-in speaker is disabled when an external speaker is plugged into this jack. (8) MIC JACK An external microphone may be plugged into this jack. We would like to suggest some ALINCO optional accessories that have been tested with this radio: o EME-4 o EMS-6 o EME-10 o EMS-2Z Authors Note: The EME-10 is a very nice accessory. It is a headset/mic unit and more! I thought you would like to know what makes it different from others, it: o Adjustable headset with microphone boom and a soft earphone insert. o A single cable leaves the headset and travels approximately 1 yard before entering a switchbox. The cable leaves the switchbox and continues another 19" before spliting into 2 cables that would be plugged into the DJ-560. Before the cable splits, a cable secure with latch would secure to the carrying strap eyelet. This would prevent the two cables from being pulled out of their jacks on the radio. o The switchbox has three settings, ATO, PTT and VOX. The ATO function is very nice. ATO stand for Automatic Transmission Out or Automatic Time Out. If you haven't guessed by now it will automatically unkey the radio after 2 minutes and 45 seconds. This is a nice feature for those who loose track of time. o The PTT function is selected when manual use of the PTT would be implemented. o The VOX selection would be used for automatic transmission by voice, or voice actuation. 3.3 LEFT SIDE CONTROLS/FUNCTIONS The following controls are located on the left side of the radio as viewed with front panel facing the operator. (1) FUNCTION KEY Controls access to secondary functions. These secondary functions are those functions printed in green on the front panel. It is necessary to activate the FUNCtion key to access these secondary functions. When the "FUNC" key is pressed the letter "F" will display in the upper left-hand portion of the LCD display. While holding the "FUNC" button, press the desired command key. (2) PTT SWITCH Press and hold this button to transmit. While holding the PTT SWITCH you may speak into the microphone. *** NOTE *** On the DJ-560E the lower portion of the PTT SWITCH is used to transmit Tone Burst, and the upper button is the PTT SWITCH. On the DJ-560T either button activates PTT SWITCH. (3) BATTERY LOCK BUTTON The battery lock button releases the battery from the radio. The battery is keyed in order to avoid the battery from being inserted incorrectly. To attach the battery, position it below the radio and slide battery from left to right until the lock snaps battery into place. To remove battery, push and hold the lock button upwards and slide the battery to the left (from vantage point where radio front panel is facing you). 3.4 BACK AND RIGHT SIDE CONTROLS/FUNCTIONS The following controls are located on the right side of the radio as viewed with front panel facing the operator. (1) VHF/UHF DUAL EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK The DJ-560T/E features an external stereo speaker jack that makes accessible the audio supplied from each band (UHF/VHF). When a stereo headset is used, each band is heard separately, in each earphone. Separate external speakers may be plugged into this jack by using a mini dual stereo adapter plug. Volume from the VHF band will be heard on the Left channel and UHF will be heard on the Right channel. *** CAUTION *** Inserting a standard mono plug into this jack will short circuit the UHF channel. USE STEREO PLUGS ONLY! *** NOTE *** When this jack is in use, the audio jack located on the top of the radio will be disabled. (2) DC IN JACK Utilizing this jack will provide maximum output power.

First lets look at the scanning options, they are: VFO Scan - Scans either band independently. Program Band Scan (VFO Mode) - Scans programmed lower to upper frequencies. The bands are independent of each other. Memory Scan - Each band may scan memory channels independently. 8.1 VFO SCAN Each band may scan VFO channels independently. When in Band Scan mode the DJ-560T/E scans by Channel step, by 100 Khz or by 1 Mhz steps. As the scan passes through any 500 Khz or 1 Mhz point a tone will sound if the BEEP function is active. 1. Select the main band by pressing the VHF or UHF key. 2. Press the "A/UP ARROW" key for approx. 1 second and release key. To scan in the opposite direction press the "FUNC" key and the "B/DOWN ARROW" key. 3. Whether you are cycling upward or downward, during scan the decimal point will flash indicating that scanning has begun. ***NOTE*** The scan rate is faster if you hold the UP or DOWN ARROW key down. The decimal point will not flash when these keys are held down. Scan frequency will decrease when the main tuning knob is rotated counter clockwise. The same holds true, if the main tuning knob is rotated clockwise the scan frequency will increase. 4. When a signal is received, scanning will stop and remain on that frequency. When channel goes quiet or Main Tuning Knob is rotated clockwise or counter clockwise, scanning will continue. 5. To cancel scanning press either the "A/UP ARROW" or "B/DOWN ARROW" key. All 3 scan types can be applied to Band Scan. 8.1.1 PROGRAM BAND SCAN MODE (VFO MODE) This scan option allows the scanning of a range of VFO frequencies. Each band may have independent scan ranges. The lower band limit is programmed into Memory Channel 18. The upper band limit is programmed into Memory Channel 19. You may initiate Program Band Scan from either VFO or Memory mode. Storing the Lower and Upper Ranges Example: 1. Select the main band by pressing the VHF or UHF key, for example VHF. 2. Select a desired Lower Frequency via the key pad, for example "146.000". 3. Press the "MCH" key. 4. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial until 18 is displayed. 5. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "MW" key to store the selected Lower Frequency into memory. 6.

Press the "A/UP ARROW" key for approx. 1 second. 6. Press the "PRI" key. 10 REPEATER OPERATIONS Amateur radio repeaters utilize separate transmitter and receiver sections. The transmitter frequency may be offset either above or below the receive frequency according to repeater coordination conventions. 10.1 REV KEY In some areas there may be repeaters operating on repeater frequency pairs, the exact reverse of another repeater in the area. That is, the input of one repeater is the output frequency of the other and vice versa. To avoid the inconvenience of reprogramming every time both repeaters are in range, the REV key allows instant reversal of the input and output frequencies and the offset direction. The REV function is also useful to check the repeater input to determine if another station is heard directly so you can go simplex. To activate the REV function: 1. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "REV" key. The repeater input frequency and opposite SHIFT indicator will appear on the LCD display panel. 2. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "REV" key again to cancel the REV function. 10.2 RESETTING RADIO *** NOTE *** Resetting the radio will erase all user programmed information (frequencies,shifts,offsets etc.) Make sure that this information has been written down before proceeding. 1. Make sure radio is powered off. 2. Press and hold the "FUNC" key in while turning on the radio via the power knob. The LCD will display 145.00 (VHF) and 445.00 (UHF). 10.3 PL ENCODE/DECODE PL Encoding allows you to select the proper tone frequency to open another operators radio or repeater. PL Decoding enables another operator to select the tone your receiver requires enabling you to hear them. Unlike Code Squelch operation (Refer to section 12.1.6 for details) A specific tone frequency is used. Here's how to use PL Encoding/ Decoding. 1. Select the main band by pressing the VHF or UHF key. 2. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "T.SQL" key. 3. Rotate the main tuning knob to the desired tone. 4. When the tone has been selected press either the "FUNC" or main band key (VHF or UHF). 5. The tone has now been selected, now you need to enable it. Press the "T.SQL" key. 6. Tone settings will cycle each time the "T.SQL" key is pressed. It cycles as follows on the LCD display: o Tone Encoder Enabled with the letter "T" displayed on LCD. When "T" is displayed, the tone you selected will be transmitted to the station your calling. o Tone Decoder Squelch with the letter "T" and "SQL" displayed on the LCD. When the "T" and "SQL" is displayed, you are expecting a particular tone to open your radio receiver. o When the "T" and/or "SQL" is not displayed, the encoder/decoder is disabled. Example: Tone Encoder and Decoder: Radio for Joe Radio for Linda ------------- --------------- Tone set: 100.0 Tone set: 100.0 "T" displayed (ENCODE) "T" and "SQL" displayed (DECODE) A) Radio operator "Joe" is calling "Linda". The interesting point here is that when the radio that Linda is using displays "T" and "SQL", nothing will be heard through her radio speaker when squelch is opened up (fully counter clockwise). You will notice however that the S/RF display will be shown on the LCD when squelch is opened. B) The only way that Linda will hear Joe is for Joe to send the proper tone to open Linda's radio (speaker). C) If Joe doesn't send the right tone, Linda's radio will remain silent. 11 AUTOPATCH OPERATION (AUTOMATIC DIALER) The DJ-560T/E offers one automatic dialer channel. The telephone number may be entered in either the VHF or the UHF frequency mode. The stored telephone number is transmitted on whichever band is selected as the main band. 11.1 PROGRAM AUTODIAL NUMBER To enter a telephone number, perform the following: 1. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "DIAL M" key. The frequency display will be replaced by 4 dashes. The telephone symbol will display on the LCD and flash, indicating that the dialer memory is ready to accept the number to be stored. You may enter up to 16 numbers, letters and symbols, four at a time in four groups. *** NOTE *** After each group of four is entered the second group will replace the first group and so on. 2. The entered telephone number is stored by pressing the desired main band (VHF or UHF) key or PTT switch. Change the number by repeating the steps 1 & 2 in this section. 11.2 TRANSMIT AUTODIAL NUMBER After performing the steps in section 11.1, perform the following steps to transmit the programmed number. 1. Verify that the telephone symbol appears on the LCD display. 2. Press and hold the "PTT" switch, then press the "FUNC" key to transmit number. *** HINT *** If the repeater autopatch requires an entry of an access code as part of the telephone number, enter the code first, then the telephone number. All digits will be transmitted. In some cases you would have to enter the autopatch code manually, then use the dialer. 11.3 MANUAL DIAL In some instances you may want to dial a number manually. perform the following steps. 1. The telephone symbol should not appear on your display. If it does, press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "DIAL M" key, then the "ABX" key. 2. Press and hold the "PTT" key. 3. Now dial the number on your keypad as you would a telephone. 11.4 DISABLE AUTODIAL 1. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "DIAL M" key, then the "ABX" key. The automatic dialer memory is now empty. The telephone symbol will disappear from the LCD display. 12 HISTORY OF THE DSQ FUNCTION At the beginning of DSQ implementation, the first handheld radio by ALINCO to offer this functionality was the DJ- 160T/E. This radio utilized DSQ in order to make private contact with a single operator or group of operators as deemed necessary, very much like a pager! The DJ-160T/E original DSQ scheme allowed: o 3 digits for group code (000 to 999) o 1 digit for the operators "own" code (0 to 9) o 1 digit for "other's" to have as a personal code (0 to 9) As you can see, if you have more then 10 operators (0 to 9) you are out of luck when using private calling. The next generation would be called "Expanded DSQ". These "Expanded" functions can be found in the DJ-560T/E handheld and incorporate: o 3 digits for group code (000 to 999) o 3 digits for the operators "own" code (000 to 999) o 3 digits for "other's" to have a personal code (000 to 999) o 3 digits to monitor an(other's) code The DJ-560T/E is backward compatible with the DJ-160T/E and is currently utilizing "Expanded DSQ" with other ALINCO products such as the DR-590T/E mobile, other DJ-560T/E's and the DJ-F series. Here is a compatibility matrix that will help you to understand what is compatible with what! DSQ COMPATIBILITY MATRIX +---------------------------------------------------------+ | Radio Type | Original DSQ | Expanded DSQ | |-------------------------+----------------+--------------+ | DJ-160T/E HANDHELD | Yes | No | |-------------------------+----------------+--------------| | DJ-560T/E HANDHELD | Yes | Yes | |-------------------------+----------------+--------------| | DR-590T/E MOBILE | No | Yes | |-------------------------+----------------+--------------| | DJ-F SERIES HANDHELD | No | Yes | +---------------------------------------------------------+ Now that you understand that there was an original DSQ scheme and a newer "Expanded DSQ", we can fully discuss how they are to be used on the DJ-560T/E! 12.1 DSQ ORIGINAL SCHEME DSQ stands for DTMF Squelch Control. As the original DSQ scheme, it is often used in conjunction with the DJ-160T/E. This is a very powerful feature that will allow you to call a particular individual or group of individuals. This feature is achieved by use of DTMF Tones that will either open (or keep closed) the DJ-560T/E. In this section you will begin to understand how the original DSQ scheme works and how to transmit & receive with it! 12.1.1 DSQ "ORIGINAL" CODING With DSQ paging, you can place a transmission in a variety of ways, as described below. OPTION 1: 3 DIGIT GROUP CODE By programming a 3 digit group code your members of a group would receive a common transmission. Perhaps this group wouldn't want to hear a transmission meant for another group that has another 3 digit code sequence. EXAMPLE: Lets say that you are helping the local police department find a missing child. They have split 10 radio operators into 2-five person teams. Let's call them team 1 and team 2. Each member of team 1 has a radio with a group code of 111. Each member of team 2 has a radio with a group code of 222. The police have just found evidence that the child is definitely located in team 2 territory. The central transmission point now needs to contact the members of team 1 and fill them in on their findings. They will send out a 111 group code (tone sequence) to team 1. By virtue of the group code 111, all members of team 1 will hear the message and team 2 will hear nothing on their radios. OPTION 2: 1 DIGIT PRIVATE "OWN" CODE A single digit personal code would be utilized by an individual operator who would receive a private call. EXAMPLE: Lets say that you will receive some specific information. The other person will need to know your "own" code before your radio will receive a private call. Your "own" code is also necessary, because the other person receiving your message will see your "own" code displayed on their radio LCD. OPTION 3: 1 DIGIT "OTHERS" CODE This code is used to call a specific person in a group. It is the other persons "own" code. EXAMPLE: Lets say that an individual in team 1 needs to be given some specific information. We will send only that person the information and nobody else in the group. By virtue of their 1 digit "own" code, they will hear only their message. OPTION 4: 1 DIGIT MONITOR CODE When your "own" private code is sent to your radio, the "other's" private code can be memorized. OPTION 5: MISC CODES 16 numbers, letters and symbols can be used for coding. Here's what you can use; 0-9, A-D, * and #. An "H" will appear on the LCD when the * is entered and upside down A will appear when the # is entered. The # sign is used as a wild card. Refer to WILDCARD for more information. 12.1.2 TRANSMITTING (PRIVATE CALLING IN A GROUP) 1. Select the main band by pressing the VHF or UHF key. 2. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "P G" key until "G" appears on the LCD display. 3. Enter 3 digits for the group that YOU want to call followed by your 1 digit "own" code. In other words your personal ID code from 0 to 9. EXAMPLE: The first three digits are the group code, enter 111. The final digit is reserved for your "own" personal code, enter 2. Your display should look like this: A111.2 4. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "P G" key until "PG" appears on the LCD display. 5. And now you must select the "others" single digit code. This is the operator you're calling. Lets say you're calling operator 3! Enter "3" on the keypad. Notice how this digit is entered into the single digit area above the group code and just right of the band indicator. 6. Press the PTT key to transmit the DSQ code. The following example will illustrate what the tone stream looks like. EXAMPLE: The first 3 tones you will hear when you push on the PTT key will be the 3 digit group code (111). This will be followed by the "others" code (3). A delimiter character is sent followed by the last digit which identifies you (your "own" code) (2). 1113*2 12.1.3 RECEIVING (PRIVATE CALL IN A GROUP) To receive a private call from another operator, setup your radio as follows: 1. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "P G" key until "PG" appears on the LCD display. When the received DSQ code matches the first 4 digits of your display (group and own code), the DSQ "PG" indicator will begin to flash. If the "BEEP BELL" is off, the squelch will open for as long as the calling operator is transmitting. If the "BEEP BELL" is on, an audible beep will be emitted from the radio and the beep indicator will flash on the LCD display. Reset the flashing DSQ indicator by pressing the main band key. The calling operators "own" digit will appear on your display next to the band indicator. *** NOTE *** If the received coded signal matches the "P G" pager code, the mode is selected automatically. When the "other's" code is not confirmed, an "E" will be displayed on the LCD instead of "A". 12.1.4 TRANSMITTING (GROUP CALLING) 1. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "P G" key until "G" appears on the LCD display. 2. Enter the 3 digit group code that YOU want to call followed by your 1 digit "own" code. In other words your personal ID code from 0 to 9. EXAMPLE: The first three digits are the group code, enter 111. The final digit is reserved for your "own" personal code, enter 2. 3. Press the Main band key. either VHF or UHF. The DSQ code is now stored and the LCD display will return to the Main Band frequency. 4. Press the PTT key to transmit the DSQ code. The following example will illustrate what the tone stream looks like. EXAMPLE: The first 3 tones you will hear when you push on the PTT key will be the 3 digit group code (111). This will be followed by a delimiting character. Immediately afterwards the digit which identifies you (your "own" code) will be sent (2). The entire sequence will end with 2 delimiting characters. 111*2** 12.1.5 RECEIVING (GROUP CALL) To receive a group call from another operator, setup your radio as follows: 1. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "P G" key until "G" appears on the LCD display. When the received DSQ code matches the first 3 digits of your display (group code), the DSQ "G" indicator will begin to flash. If the "BEEP BELL" is off, the squelch will open for as long as the calling operator is transmitting. If the "BEEP BELL" is on, an audible beep will be emitted from the radio and the beep indicator will flash on the LED display. Reset the flashing DSQ indicator by pressing the main band key or PTT. The calling operators "own" digit will appear on your display next to the band indicator. 12.1.6 CODE SQUELCH Well you might have decided that the "Original DSQ" function is not your cup of tea. That's ok, maybe individual code squelch is more to your liking. This is different from Tone Encoding/Decoding (Refer to section 10.3). This gives you a choice to select your own 3 digit code, and only the person who knows your code will open your receiver. Here's how it should be used. 1. Select the main band by pressing the VHF or UHF key. Example: Press the "VHF" key and enter 146.520. 2. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "DSQ SET" key several times. Notice how you can scroll through A,B,C & D! These are the 4 DSQ memory channels. Each memory channel is very much like a mailbox. Each mailbox will hold 3 letters (digits). These digits represent your personal code squelch identification. Example: Select code squelch memory channel "A". 3. Release the "FUNC" key now and select a 3 digit code squelch code using the keypad. Example: Enter the 3 digit code 333. 4. Press the "FUNC" key to return the LCD display to operating frequency. Example: Now you will see on the LCD display P45.52. 5. Press the "D.SQL" key repeatedly (2 times) until "C" appears in the 100 Mhz digit location. Example: C45.620 or C46.000 6. Press the "PTT" to transmit the code squelch code with the transmitted signal. *** NOTE *** If the received code squelch signal matches the set code squelch code, a "C" will appear on the LCD, squelch will open and incoming signal will be received. 12.2 EXPANDED DSQ SCHEME As indicated earlier in this section, this is the current DSQ function. It allows 3 digits to be utilized for: o Other's Code o Group Code o Own Code o Monitor Other's Code EXPANDED DSQ can be used to utilize a radio as a pager for: o Members in a group (3 Digits) o A specific person (3 Digits) o Code Squelch (3 Digits) 12.2.1 PROGRAMMING DSQ CODES The only way to fully understand this function or original DSQ is to use the examples. The first step is to enter the appropriate DSQ memory codes. 1. Select the main band by pressing the VHF or UHF key. Example: Press the "VHF" key and enter 146.520 using the key pad. 2. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "D.SQL" key. Continue to hold the "FUNC" key. Look for the letter "A" next to the "VHF" indicator on the display. This represents DSQ memory code "A". Each time you press the "D.SQL" key the letter will increase from "A" to "B","C" & "D". After the letter "D" is displayed, the display will begin again with letter "A". Here is what each field means. DSQ Memory Code "A".....Transmit the Other's Code DSQ Memory Code "B".....Transmit a Group Code DSQ Memory Code "C".....This is your Own Code Example: Begin with letter "A" and release the "FUNC" key. 3. We will begin with "A" by entering the Other's Code that will be transmitted to the Other station. Example: Using the key pad, enter "100". 4. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "D.SQL" key twice to show the letter "B" in the LCD display. Now you will enter the Group Code. Example: Using the key pad, enter "200". 5. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "D.SQL" key twice to show the letter "C" in the LCD display. Now you will enter your Own Code. Example: Using the key pad, enter "999". Now that we have entered all of the necessary information, this is how each of the DSQ memory channels should look like. DSQ Memory Code "A".....100..Other's Code DSQ Memory Code "B".....200..Group Code DSQ Memory Code "C".....999..Own Code 6. Press the "Func" key to store DSQ memory and code. The LCD display will return with frequency and the letter "P" (Pager Mode) in the 100MHZ position. 12.2.2 DSQ PAGING MODE Using DSQ PAGING will send a 7 digit sequence with each transmission to activate another amateur radio capable of extended DSQ receive. The "P" indicator must be selected for CODE SQUELCH to operate properly. If your not sure how to select "P" for private paging, goto section 12.5. 12.2.3 PAGE TRANSMITTING (GROUP CALLING) 1. Select the main band by pressing the VHF or UHF key. Example: Press the "VHF" key and enter 146.520 using the key pad. 2. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "D.SQL" key until the Memory "B" appears on the LCD display. 3. Enter the 3 digit GROUP code that YOU will call. Example: From our previous example we will extract the Group Code which was "200". 4. Press the "FUNC" key. The DSQ code is now stored and the LCD display will return to the Main Band frequency. 5. Press the PTT key to transmit the DSQ code. The following example will illustrate what the tone stream looks like. EXAMPLE: This is to reiterate how we originally programmed the radio. This is how each of the DSQ memory channels looked like. DSQ Memory Code "A".....100..Other's Code DSQ Memory Code "B".....200..Group Code DSQ Memory Code "C".....999..Own Code The first 3 tones you will hear when you push on the PTT key will be the 3 digit group code (200). This will be followed by a delimiting character. Immediately afterwards the digits which identifies you (your "own" code) will be sent (999). 200*999 12.2.4 PAGE RECEIVING (GROUP CALL) To receive a group call from another operator, setup your radio as follows: 1. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "D.SQL" key until memory channel "B" is displayed. The 3 digit Group Code should be stored in channel "B". 2. Press the "FUNC" key. If the received DSQ coded signal matches the set DSQ group code "P" will flash, an alert BEEP will be emitted and the group DSQ code will be displayed on the LCD display. Press the "FUNC" key to reset the display after you have been called. If you receive the letter "E" displayed on receive instead of "P", it is an indicator to you that the other's code received wasn't confirmed. 12.2.5 PAGE TRANSMITTING (PRIVATE CALL) 1. Select the main band by pressing the VHF or UHF key. Example: Press the "VHF" key and enter 146.520 using the keypad. 2. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "D.SQL" key until the Memory "A" appears on the LCD display. 3. Enter the 3 digit OTHER'S Code.

Press the PTT key to transmit the DSQ code. The following example will illustrate what the tone stream looks like. Example: This is to reiterate how we originally programmed the radio. This is how each of the DSQ memory channels looked like. DSQ Memory Code "A".....100..Other's Code DSQ Memory Code "B".....200..Group Code DSQ Memory Code "C".....999..Own Code The first 3 tones you will hear when you push on the PTT key will be your own code (100). A single delimiter character is sent followed by 3 more digits (999) which will identify the Other's Code. 100*999 12.2.6 PAGE RECEIVING (PRIVATE CALL) To receive a private call from another operator, setup your radio as follows: 1. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "D.SQL" key until memory channel "A" appears on the LCD display. Enter the other's code. 2. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "D.SQL" key twice until memory channel "B" appears on the LCD display. Enter the group code. 3. Press the "FUNC" key. If you receive the letter "E" displayed on receive instead of "P", it is an indicator to you that the other's code received wasn't confirmed. 12.3 DSQ CODE SQUELCH MODE Using DSQ CODE SQUELCH MODE will send only a 3 digit sequence with each transmission to activate another amateur radio capable of extended DSQ receive. The "C" indicator must be selected for CODE SQUELCH to operate properly. If your not sure how to select "C" for code squelch, goto section 12.5. 1. Select the main band by pressing the VHF or UHF key. Example: Press the "VHF" key and enter 146.520 using the key pad. 2. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "D.SQL" key to select a DSQ memory channel. Any one of the four memories, A-D, may be used in the code squelch mode. 3. Select a 3 digit code squelch code using the keypad. 4. Press the "FUNC" key. 5. Press the "D.SQL" key until "C" is displayed. 6. When the "PTT" is pressed, the code squelch code is transmitted automatically with the signal. 12.4 DSQ WILDCARDS The "#" symbol is a wildcard that may be substituted for any one digit,letter or symbols used in DSQ codes. When the "#" symbol is entered it appears on the LCD display as an upside down A. The wildcard allows for the combination of many groups. If the first or first and second digits of several group codes are the same, you can replace the second and third digits (or just third digit) with a "#" mark, and thus transmit to all those groups. Example: 1. Enter the 2 meter frequency of 146.520. 2. Press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "DSQ SET" key. Select any code squelch memory channel. 3. Release the "FUNC" key now and select a 3 digit code squelch code using the keypad. Example: Enter the 3 digit code 1#5. 4. Press the "FUNC" key to return the LCD display to operating frequency. Example: Now you will see on the LCD display P45.52. 5. Press the "D.SQL" key repeatedly (2 times) until "C" appears in the 100 Mhz digit location. If you want to see on your LCD display which group code is calling you, refer to the HINT on page 45. Example: C45.620 If the incoming coded calls are anyone with a group code as follows, the call will be received by your radio. o 105 through 195 o 1A5 through 1D5 o 1*5 o 1#5 6. When you receive a call from another station, the "C" will flash on and off for as long as the other operator is transmitting. Your radio has already memorized who was calling you, so press the "PTT" key and you will transmit to that station directly. When you have completed your QSO, enter the wildcard sequence again to open your radio to all other stations again. *** HINT *** If you want to see who was calling you, perform steps 1-6 in section 12.4. After step 5 press and hold the "FUNC" key, then press the "DSQ SET" key. When you receive the call, their group code will appear on the LCD display immediately. 12.5 SELECTING CODE SQUELCH OR PAGER MODE In order to enter this subsection, you should begin with section 12.2.1. This phase of the expanded DSQ is where you will select either Code Squelch or Pager Mode. When Coded Squelch is used, one of the memory channels is selected and transmitted when the "C" indicator is on. When Pager Mode is used, the tones for Other's, Group, and Own are transmitted when the "P" indicator is on. The following will show you how to change from "C" Coded Squelch to "P" Pager Mode. 1. Press the "D.SQL" key once. The frequency changes from "P46.52" to "146.52". 2. Press the "D.SQL" key again. The frequency changes from "146.52" to "C46.52". 3. Press the "D.SQL" key once. The frequency changes from "C46.52" to "P46.52".
