Advanced Operation

CTCSS Operation

This radio is equipped with the CTCSS (Continuous Tone-coded Squelch System) that
allows audio to be heard only when receiving signals containing a tone corresponding to
the tone squelch menu setting. By matching the CTCSS tone with the partner station in
advance, quiet standby monitoring is possible.
Note: CTCSS does not function in digital mode. To transmit a signal using a CTCSS
code, use the
[
MODE
(
DG-ID
)]
key to switch the communication mode to AMS
(Auto Mode Select function) or analog (FM) mode.
1. Press and hold the
[
MHz
(
SETUP
)]
key to enter the
Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “SQL TYPE 44”.
3. Press the
[
MHz
(
SETUP
)]
key, then rotate the
DIAL knob to select “TSQL”.
4. Press and hold the
[
MHz
(
SETUP
)]
key to save the
new setting and exit to normal operation.
“T SQ” is displayed on the screen. Now the squelch
opens only when receiving tone signals of the set
frequency.
Note: From the Setup Menu, you can change the CTCSS setting.
TONE FRQ 47 à The tone frequency can be selected from 50 frequencies.
BELL 7 à A bell tone (beep) may be set to sound when signals containing
a corresponding CTCSS tone are received.

Advanced Operation

Tone Search

When the CTCSS tone being transmitted by another station is not known, you can tune
the radio to the incoming signal and activate tone scan to search for and identify the tone
being used.
To scan for the tone in use:
1. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS operation (see
page 5 for details.).
“T SQ” will appear on the display.
2. Press the Programmable key on the MH-48A6JA Microphone that is assigned “CD
SRCH” (see page 3) to start scanning for the incoming CTCSS code.
3. When the radio detects the correct tone, scanning will halt on that tone, and audio will
be allowed to pass.
4. Press the assigned Programmable key of the Microphone to lock in that tone and exit
to normal operation.
Note: You may listen to the (muted) signals from the other stations during Tone Scanning
when Set Mode Item “TS MUTE 49” is set to “OFF”. See page 39 for details.
You can also change the Tone Search scanning speed, using Set Mode Item “TS
SPEED 50” See page 39 for details.

Advanced Operation

DCS Operation

This radio is equipped with a DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) function that allows audio to
be heard only when signals containing the corresponding DCS code are received. By
matching the DCS code with the partner stations beforehand, a quiet receive standby is
possible..
Note: DCS does not function in digital mode. To transmit a signal with a DCS code, use
the
[
MODE
(
DG-ID
)]
key to switch the communication mode to AMS (Auto Mode
Select function) or analog (FM) mode.
1. Press and hold the
[
MHz

key to save the
new setting and exit to normal operation.
“DCS” is displayed on the screen. The squelch
opens only when receiving a signal containing the
corresponding DCS code..
Note: From the Setup Menu, you can change the DCS setting.
DCS CODE 10 à The DCS code can be selected from 104 codes.
BELL 7 à A bell tone (beep) may be set to sound when signals containing
a corresponding DCS code are received.

Advanced Operation

DCS Search

When the DCS code being transmitted by another station is not known, you can tune the
radio to the incoming signal and activate DCS code scan to search for and identify the
DCS code being used.
To scan for the DCS in use:
1. Set the transceiver up for DCS operation.
“DCS” will appear on the display.
2. Press the Programmable key on the MH-48A6JA Microphone that is assigned “CD
SRCH” (see page 3) to start scanning for the incoming DCS code.
3. When the radio detects the correct code, scanning will halt on that code, and audio will
be allowed to pass.
4. Press the assigned Programmable key of the Microphone to lock in that tone and exit
to normal operation.
Note: You may listen to the (muted) signals from the other stations during DCS Scanning
when Set Mode Item “TS MUTE 49” is set to “OFF”. See page 39 for details.
You can also change the DCS Search scanning speed, using Set Mode Item “TS
SPEED 50” See page 39 for details.

Advanced Operation

EPCS (Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch) Operation

The FTM-7250DR/DE includes an Enhanced CTCSS tone encoder/decoder and a
dedicated microprocessor providing paging and selective calling features. This allows
placing a call to a specific station (Paging), and choosing to receive calls directed only to
you (Code Squelch).
The paging and code squelch systems use two pairs of (alternately switched) CTCSS
tones, which are stored in the pager memories. Basically, your receiver remains silent until
it receives the CTCSS tone pair that matches those stored in the Receiving Pager Memory.
The squelch then opens so the caller is heard, and the paging ringer immediately sounds,
if activated. When you close the PTT switch to transmit, the CTCSS tone pair that is
stored in the Transmitting Pager Memory will be transmitted automatically.
On the paged radio, the squelch will close automatically after the incoming page ends.

Storing CTCSS Tone Pairs for EPCS Operation

1. Press and hold the
[
MHz
(
SETUP
)]
key to enter the
Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “PAG CD-R 29” for
the Receiving CTCSS Tone Pair or “PAG CD-T 30”
for the Transmitting CTCSS Tone Pair.
3. Press the
[
MHz
(
SETUP
)]
key momentarily to en-
able adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the CTCSS Tone
number, which corresponds to the first tone of the
CTCSS Tone Pair.
5. Press the
[
BAND
(
SQL
)]
or
[
V/M
(
MW
)]
key, then
rotate the DIAL knob to set the CTCSS Tone num-
ber, which corresponds to the second tone of the
CTCSS Tone Pair.
6. Press and hold the
[
MHz
(
SETUP
)]
key to lock in that tone and exit to normal operation.
Note: The FTM-7250DR/DE does not recognize the order of the 1st tone and the 2nd
tone. In other words, for example, the FTM-7250DR/DE considers both CTCSS
pairs “05, 47” and “47, 05” to be identical.
