4. Press the DIAL knob to save the setting and return to normal operation. • The squelch type may be set for each frequency band (BAND). • The CTCSS and DCS squelch settings are also active during scanning. If scanning is performed with the CTCSS and DCS squelch function activated, scanning stops only when a signal containing the specified CTCSS tone or DCS code is received.

DTMF Operation DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequencies) are the tone signals sent to make telephone calls, or control repeaters and network links. Up to 9 registers of 16-digit DTMF tone codes can be stored as telephone numbers to make calls through the public telephone network using a phone patch or to connect through the WIRES-X analog node station.
• Using the numeric key: The DTMF codes from “0” to “9”, “A” to “D”, “ Û ” and “#” may be input. “ ” is displayed “E”, “#” is displayed “F”. Û • Using the DIAL knob: Rotate the DIAL knob to set the DTMF code. • • • ...
Functions to Use as Needed Split Memory Two different frequencies, one for receive and another for transmit, may be registered to a memory channel. 1. Register the receive frequency to a memory chan- nel first, as described below: Enter the VFO receive frequency → Press and hold the [V/M mw] key → Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired channel number → Press and hold the [V/M mw] key 2.
Scan skip settings cannot be set for the PMS memory channels: L01 / U01 to L50 / U50. Programmable Memory Channel Scan (PMS) The FTM-6000R/E can be set to tune or scan only the frequencies between user defined lower and upper band limits. Registering to the Programmable Memory Channels 50 sets of PMS memory channels (L01/U01 to L50/U50) are available.
Performing Programmable Memory Channel Scan 1. Recall the PMS memory channel to which the lower limit (Lxx) or upper limit (Uxx) of the frequency band is registered. 2. Press and hold the microphone [UP] or [DWN] switch. Programmable memory channel scanning starts. • During scanning, “P”...
Dual Watch (DW) feature The FTM-6000R/E’s scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which allows operating on a VFO or Memory channel, while periodically checking a Home channel for activity. If a station received on the Home channel is strong enough to open the Squelch, the scanner will pause on that station.
Receiving Weather Broadcast Channels This transceiver includes the preprogrammed VHF Weather Broadcast Station Memory Channel Bank, and can receive the broadcast or the weather alert by recalling or scan- ning a desired channel. The following channels are stored in the transceiver weather station memory bank: Channel No.
ARTS (Automatic Range Transponder System) The ARTS feature uses DCS signaling to inform both parties when ARTS equipped sta- tions are within communications range. In Range Out of Range • If the signal of the partner station cannot be received for 1 minute 20 seconds, it is judged as “cannot communicate”.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “DCS” then press the [SQL back] key. 6. Rotate the DIAL knob to select [25 SQL.COD] then press the DIAL knob. 7. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the same DCS code as the partner station, and then press the DIAL knob.
ARTS Polling Time Options The ARTS feature may be programmed to poll in 30 second (default value) or 1 minute intervals. To change the polling interval: 1. Press and hold the [F menu] key. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select [03 AR INT] then press the DIAL knob.
“SND.ING” is displayed on the screen, and data transfer begins. 9. When cloning is completed, the copy destination FTM-6000R/E will automatically restart, and the copy source FTM-6000R/E will change from “SND.ING” to “SND. CMP”. 10. This completes cloning (copying). Turn both transceivers OFF, then disconnect the clone cable.
Connecting an external device A TNC (Terminal Node Controller) may be connected to the transceiver to enable packet communications. z Preparation • TNC • Computer • Data cable* (Prepare a cable suitable for the connected device.) *The following optional products are available. z Data cable “CT-164”...
