VX-900 split DCS/CTCSS capability

[Pat]

I recently reprogrammed a group of VX-900s to operate on our new county system and as best as I can tell the radios do not support the use of split DCS and CTCSS on a channel. I'm using CE39 version 1.25 and the radios are running firmware version 1.53. Anyone know of a trick to get split DCS and CTCSS to work on a channel or is it not possible?

Thanks

You should be able to select either column and tap the spacebar to change it from CTCSS to DCS separately.

He wants (as I read it) to use CTCSS RX but DCS TX vs DCS RX and CTCSS TX

You should be able to select either column and tap the spacebar to change it from CTCSS to DCS separately.

Correct, a couple of channels in our system have DPL on transmit and PL on receive. The spacebar trick doesn't appear to work in the CE39 software but I was hoping there might be a hidden keystroke or something to enable the use of split tones. For now I just have the DPL on transmit and CSQ for receive.

I have 3 different models of VS radios. In the software for each of them (CE 76, 82, 147), this can be done if you set the receive (or decode) tone first and the transmit (or encode) tone second. If you do the encode first, then try to set the decode to something different, it will change them both, but when you change the encode parameter, it doesn't affect the decode. CE39 may work differently - but thought it worth suggesting in case you hadn't tried that.
