Squelch: Tone vs. Tone Squelch

[vs1988]

Hi

What is the difference between Tone and Tone Squelch?

Thank you

Vince

EDIT: I should add more detail, this is in a Yaesu VX-5R portable.

PL Tone Squelch

In the hammy world it can be translated this way:


Tone = Transmit PL with carrier squelch (no tone) receive

Tone Squelch = Transmit and receive PL tone

Not to confuse the issue, but some repeaters use a different PL tone for transmit than they do for receive. There are some Yaesu hammy radios that are now able to be programmed this way. One of the repeaters I use is set up this way so to program it for full encode/decode from the mobile it is set as follows:

Transmit Freq: 447.925 Transmit PL: 114.8 hZ

Receive Freq: 442.925 Receive PL: 127.3 hZ

Thanks!

When I set it on Tone Squelch, I can recieve certain freqs, but the beginning of the transmissions are cut off. What is causing this?

Slow tone decode. Some radios are slower/faster than others in decoding CTCSS tones. If you don't need CTCSS for a particular frequency, don't use it.

Hi guys,

Here's another twist, many repeaters be they "hammy" or others only transmit a PL tone during voice periods. The CWID won't be heard nor will the various voice announcements and "courtesy tone" on Amateur repeaters if PL decode (tone squelch) is used.
