When “VC wo TONE” is selected, The CTCSS TONE or DCS code (or other code) will not be added to the
signal while the voice ID announcement is being transmitted.
Note Please note the following regarding operation of the repeater ID when the ANNOUNCE mode is set
to “CW wo TONE” or “VC wo TONE”.
1. During initial activity after the DR-1X/XE is first powered on; the ID is sent with tone when the
ANNOUNCE mode is set to “CW wo TONE” or “VC wo TONE”.
2. During repeater inactivity the ID will be sent without tone when “CW wo TONE” or “VC wo TONE” is
selected.
3. If the DR-1X/XE is sending the ID and a user transmits, the incoming audio is muted until the ID is
nished being sent when “CW wo TONE” or “VC wo TONE” is selected.
4. When the DR-1X/XE is active and the ID timer expires, the ID is sent with tone when “CW wo TONE” is
selected. The ID and ongoing audio are mixed.
5. When the DR-1X/XE is active and the ID timer expires, the ID is sent with tone when “VC wo TONE” is
