DIGITAL CODED SQUELCH (DCS) <RC-D710 + TM-V71>
Digital Code Squelch (DCS) is another application which allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls. It functions the
same way as CTCSS. The only differences are the encode/ decode method and the number of selectable codes. For
DCS, you can select from 104 different codes.
USING DCS
1 Select your desired band.
2 Press [TONE] 3 times to activate the DCS function.
• The icon appears on the display when the DCS
function is ON.
• Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows:
Tone ( ) ➡ CTCSS ( ) ➡ DCS ( ) ➡ Off (no
display).
3 Press [F], [T.SEL].
• The current DCS code appears on the display and blinks.
4 Rotate the Tuning control to select your desired DCS
code.
• Refer to the table below for the available codes.
• To exit the DCS code selection, press [ESC].
5 Press any key other than the Tuning control and
[ESC] to complete the setting.
6 When you are called: The transceiver squelch opens
only when the selected DCS code is received.
When you make a call: Press and hold [PTT], then
speak into the microphone.
• To cancel DCS, press [TONE] until DCS no longer
appears on the display.
You can also select a DCS code by using the microphone:
1 Select your desired band.
2 Press [TONE] 3 times to activate the DCS function.
• The icon appears on the display when the DCS
function is ON.
• Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows:
Tone ( ) ➡ CTCSS ( ) ➡ DCS ( ) ➡ Off (no
display).
3 Press [F], [T.SEL].
• The current DCS code appears on the display and blinks.
4 Press the key programmed as [ENTER].
5 Enter your desired DCS code using the microphone
keypad.
• Refer to the table below for DCS codes.

DCS CODE SCAN
This function scans through all DCS codes to identify the
incoming DCS code on a received signal. You may find it
useful when you cannot recall the DCS code that the other
persons in your group are using.
1 Press [TONE] 3 times to activate the DCS function.
• The icon appears on the display when the DCS
function is ON.
• Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows:
Tone ( ) ➡ CTCSS ( ) ➡ DCS ( ) ➡ Off (no
display).
2 Press [F], [T.SEL] (1s).
• The icon blinks and “SCAN” appears on the display.
• Scan starts when a signal is received.
• To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control
clockwise (upward scan) or counterclockwise (downward
scan). You can also press microphone [UP]/ [DWN].
• To quit the scan, press [ESC].
• When a DCS code is identified, the identified code
appears on the display and blinks.
3 Press the Tuning control to program the identified
code in place of the currently set DCS code.
• The DCS function will remain ON. To cancel DCS, press
[TONE] until DCS no longer appears on the display.
• Press [ESC] if you do not want to program the identified code.
• Rotate the Tuning control while an identified code is
blinking, to resume scanning. DCS-1
