DCS Encode Only

In RT Systems programmers for radios from any manufacturer, IF the radio can do DCS transmit only, it is triggered with the D Code option under Tone Mode.

Once D Code is selected as Tone Mode, select the value for DCS encode (transmission only to the repeater) from those in the DCS column (which is now active).

Note:

1. There are older radios that can do DCS and not do DCS transmit only. These will not have the D Code option in Tone Mode.
2. In those older radios, you will be able to use that repeater ONLY IF... you have a dual display radio and you set two channels for use on this repeater. The first will have the transmit frequency ONLY... as simplex with Tone Mode set to DCS and the proper DCS code set. The second will have the receive frequency ONLY... as simplex with Tone mode set to None. You will transmit to the repeater on the first channel and receive from the repeater on the other.
3. DCS Polarity should remain at Both N unless you are given specific instructions to change that value.
