Function 2: TONE Search Scanning
In operating situations where you don't know the CTCSS/DCS tone being used by another station or stations, you can command the radio
listen to the incoming signal and scan in search of the tone being used.
Enter Menu 29st/30nd to start CTCSS/DCS searching.
If the Tone scanning feature does not detect a tone or a code, it will continue to scan indefinitely. When this happens, it may be that the
other station is not sending any tone.
You can press the PTT key to halt the scan at any time.
You also can press the MONI key during Tone scanning to listen to the (muted) signal from the other station. When you release the MONI
key, Tone scanning will resume.
Tone Scanning works either in the VFO or MR modes.
