EPCS SENHANCED PAGING & CODE SQUELCH)
The VX-GR includes an Enhanced CTCSS tone encoder/decoder and a dedicated micro~
processor providing paging and selective calling feature. This allows you to place a call to
a specific station (Paging), and to receive calls of your choice directed only to you (Code
Squelch).
The paging and code squelch systems use two pairs of (alternately switched) CTCSS tones
which are stored in the pager memories. Basically. your receiver remains silent until it
receives the CTCSS tone pair that matches those stored in the Receiving Pager Memory.
The squelch then opens so the caller is heard, and the paging linger immediately sounds, if
activated. When you close the PTT switch to transmit, the CTCSS tone pair which is
stored in the Transmitting Pager Memory will be transmitted automatically,
On the paged radio, the squelch will close automatically after the incoming page ends.
Meanwhile, on the paging radio, the Enhanced Paging and Code Squelch system will be
disabled afier the FIT switch is released afier the paging transmission. You may revacti-
vale the Enhanced Paging andCode Squelch system again using Set Mode Item 43: PAGER,
if desired.
Storing the CTCSS Tone Pairs for EPCS Operation

EMERGENCY AUTOMAnc ID {EAIZ FEATURE
The Emergency Automatic ID (EAI) feature can he used for searching for persons who are
incapacitated in disasters like eanhquakes, especially scarch~and-rescue personnel who
may have become injured in a debris field. In such cases, if another searcher sends out a
unique command (CTCSS tone pair), the radio of the incapacitated party, who may not be
able to speak or even press the PTT switch. will automatically cause the injured party's
radio to transmit. so others may perform direction-finding and elfect a rescue. The callsign
of the incapacitated person will also be transmitmd. to assist the rescue team.
If an emergency group is working in a dangerous area, all members should engage the EAI
feature on their transceiver, so that others can provide assistance to a fallen team member.
ifnecessary,
The Emergency Automatic ID (FAI) Feature has two operating modes: (I) Interval mode
and (2) Continuous mode.
In the Interval made, when the VX-GR receives the CTCSS tone pair which is stored in
the Receiving Pager Code Memory (configured via Set Mode Item 45: PAGEDR) on the
frequency which is stored in Memory Channel “EAI” for more than five seconds. the radio
will automatically transmit a brief (0.5 second) beep tone every 2.5 seconds until the EAI
timer expiration at the power level stored in that memory channel: it is NOT necessary for
the incapacitated person to press the FIT switch:
In the Continuous made. when the VX-GR receives the CTCSS tone pair which is stored

TRANSMITTER TIME-OUT TIMER TOT
The TOT feature provides a safety switch which limits transmission time to a pro-pro-
grammed value. This will promote battery conservation by not allowing you to make ex-
eessiver-Iong transmissions. and in the evmt of a stuck PTI' switch (perhaps if the radio
or a Speaker/Mic is wedged between car seats) it can prevent interference to other users as
well as battery depletion, As configured at the factory the TOT feature is set to 3 minutes,
and here is the procedure for activating it:
1. Press the [FIW] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 67: TOT. 5)
3. Press the [USED] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this

/ 1) When your transmission rim: is within 10 seconds of the fim¢~0ut Timer
aspiration, an Alert bell will provide an audible warning from the speaker.
2) Since brief transmissions are the mark afa good operalw, try setting up
your radio’s WT feature for a maximum transmission time ofone minute. This will
significantly impmve battery life, too!
CHANGING THE TX DEV|A110N LEVEL
In many areas of the world, channel congestion has required that operating channels be
closely spaced. In such operating environments, it ofien is required that operators use
reduced deviation levels, so as to reduce the potential for interference to users on adjacent
channels. The VX-GR includes a simple method of accomplishing this:
1. Press the [FM] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode,
2. Rotate the BIA]. knob to select Set Mode Item 27: HLF.DEV.
3, Press the [0(SET)] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set Mode Item to “ON.“ In this
configuration (HALF DEVIATION active), the transmitter’s de-
viation will be approximawa $2.5 kHL and the received audio
output level will be increased. for easier listening on the narrow signal.
5. When you have made your selectiorn press the P'I'I' switch to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.

DCS Coos INVERSION
The DCS system was first introduced in the commercial LMR (Land Mobile Radio) ser-
vice, where it is now in widespread use. DCS is sometime refer to by its different propri-
etary names, arch as DPL' (Digital Private Line', a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc.)
DCS uses a codeword consisting of a 23-bit frame, transmitted (subaudible) at a data rate
of I34.4 bps (bit/sec) Occasionally, signal inversion can result in the complement of a
code to be sent or received This prevents the receiver‘s squelch from opening with DCS
enabled, as the decoded bit sequence would not match that selected for operation,
Typical situations that might cause inversion to occur are:
El Connection of an external receiver preamplifier,
D Operating through a repeater.
El Connection of an external linear amplifier.
Note that code inversion does not mean that any of the above listed equipment is defective!
In certain amplifier configurations, the output signal (phase) is inverted fi'om the input.
Small signal or power amplifiers having an odd number (1, 3, 5, etc.) of amplification
stages may result in inversion of a transmitted or received DCS code.
While under most circumstances this should not occur (amplifier designs and industry
standards take this into account), ifyou find that your receiver squelch does not open when
both you and the other station are using a common DCS code, you or the other station (but
not both) can try the following:
1. Press the [FIW] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set model
Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 18: DCS RV, ts
Press the [0(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob
to set this Set Mode Item to “ENABLE" (thus DCS Code is in-
verted).
4. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
5. Remember to restore the default setting to “DISABLE" when done.
