19 FT -2800M O PERA TING M ANUAL C HANNEL S TEP S ELECTION Tuning steps are factory preset to default increments which are appropriate for the country to which this radio is exported. Y ou may have a reason to use a different step size, however, and here is the procedure for changing the channel steps: 1.
20 FT -2800M O PERA TING M ANUAL RF S QUELCH A special RF Squelch feature is provided on this radio. This feature allows you to set the squelch so that only signals exceeding a certain S-meter level will open the squelch.

23 FT -2800M O PERA TING M ANUAL A DV ANCED O PERA TION [ 3 ] Separate Transmit Frequency Memories (“Odd Splits”) All memory channels can store independent receive and transmit frequencies, to accommo- date occasional non-standard offsets with greater frequency resolution than is available us- ing the “standard” shift feature.
24 FT -2800M O PERA TING M ANUAL CTCSS/DCS O PERA TION CTCSS Operation Many repeater systems require that a very-low-frequency audio tone be superimposed on your FM carrier in order to activate the repeate r . This helps prevent false activation of the repeater by radar or spurious signals from other transmitters.
25 FT -2800M O PERA TING M ANUAL Y our repeater may or may not re-transmit a CTCSS tone - some systems just use CTCSS to control access to the repeate r , but don’t pass it along when transmit- ting.
26 FT -2800M O PERA TING M ANUAL Tone Search Scanning In operating situations where you don’t know the CTCSS tone or DCS code being used by another station or stations, you can command the radio to listen to the incoming signal and scan in search of the tone being used.
27 FT -2800M O PERA TING M ANUAL CTCSS/DCS O PERA TION A DV ANCED O PERA TION CTCSS/DCS Bell Paging During CTCSS Decode or DCS operation, you may set up the FT-2800M such that a ring- ing “bell” sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in.
28 FT -2800M O PERA TING M ANUAL DTMF A UT ODI ALER O PERA TION Nine DTMF Autodialer memories are available on th e FT-2800M .
