VX-6E OPERATING MANUAL30
CTCSS/DCS BELL OPERATION
During CTCSS Decode or DCS operation, you may set up the VX-6E such that a ringing
“bell” sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in. Here is the procedure for
activating the CTCSS/DCS Bell:
1. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode (“Tone Squelch”) or DCS operation, as
described previously.
2. Adjust the operating frequency to the desired channel.
3. Press the
[
F/W

key, then press the
[

key to enter the Set mode.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 8:

5. Press the
[

key momentarily to enable adjustment of
this Set Mode Item.
6. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the desired number of rings of the
Bell. The available choices are “
11

“

7. Press the PTT switch momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal opera-
tion.
When you are called by a station whose transceiver is sending a CTCSS tone or DCS code
which matches that set into your Decoder, the Bell will ring in accor-
dance with this programming. When the CTCSS/DCS Bell is acti-
vated, the “ ” icon will appear at the upper right corner on the
LCD.
