"CTCSS/DCS SEARCH" question...

[rbritton1201]

If I select "CTCSS/DCS Search" under the "Audio Options" tab, will the SDS200 search and automatically save a detected CTCSS/DCS code in the radio's favorites list programming upon receipt of a signal? If so, will that saved code be reflected in Sentinel if I "Read" the programming from the radio?

No.

No, but if you hit the ENTER key while it is decoding it will present the option to SAVE that info. Then it will be there when read.

Thanks for the clarification...So, you have to kind of babysit it so that when the code displays you can manually enter that information by pressing "E" for enter.

That would be a nice firmware update that wouldl automatically ascertain the CTCSS/DCS of a particular department as a signal is received, if the feature is turned on in audio options, and that it would automatically save the CTCSS/DCS and log it into the programming without having to babysit it, and manually save it.

I believe that during a "Discovery Session", when you look at the results, it will show which frequency as well as CTCSS/DCS tone.
