DCS AND CTCSS?

[RadioMarkW]

Ok, I have run across a repeater with a DSP input and a CCTSS output.  My radios can do splits of either/or, but not both........what models do this?

Thanks,

Most do, it’s sometimes called “cross”, but if you just turn off the receiving tone you don’t need to do a split.

What radio do you have that doesn’t.  I have met come across any that don’t.  Like already said.  I usually dont like to turn off the rx tone but in this case if you really can’t do splits then just don’t use the rx.

What radio are you working with?

Just for fun, I punched these in on 1 of our TD-H3s. So, this isn't a feature exclusive to expensive radios. Tho I did notice you had to do Rx first before Tx. First time I tried it, I set the Tx first then the Rx, which changed the Tx to match the Rx.
If I set the Rx first, then the Tx, both stayed where I wanted them. So, order of operation might matter on your radio as well.

Yup every “ccr” $20 radio I’ve ever seen can use split tones and cross tones no problem.  This is a good example of that.  I’d still rather program on a computer 1000Xs easier.

Ya, that can be annoying when you set the Tx first and the Rx wipes it out.  But that's the nature of the radio when programming from the keypad.  If you do it from a computer or bluetooth you don't have to deal with it.

@amaff good info, thanks for sharing. I think manual programming is something we all should become familiar with on our radios. It can be quite confusing and it's nice to have it figured out before you are out in the field or after a hurricane and need to make an unexpected change.
