FT-60R OPERATING MANUAL 51
The ARTS™ feature uses DCS signaling to inform both parties when you and another
ARTS™-equipped station are within communications range. This may be particularly use-
ful during Search-and Rescue situations, where is important to stay in contact with other
members of your group.
Both stations must set up their DCS codes to the same code number, then activate their
ARTS™ feature using the command appropriate for their radio. Alert ringers may be acti-
vated, if desired.
Whenever you push the PTT, or every 25 (or 15) seconds after ARTS™ is activated, your
radio will transmit a signal which includes a (subaudible) DCS signal for about 1 second. If the
other radio is in range, the beeper will sound (if enabled) and the display will show “IN.RNG”
as opposed to the out of range display “OUT.RNG” in which ARTS™ operation begins.
Whether you talk or not, the polling every 15 or 25 seconds will
continue until you de-activate ARTS™. Every 10 minutes, more-
over, you can have your radio transmit your callsign via CW, so as to
comply with identification requirements. When ARTS™ is de-acti-
vated, DCS will also be deactivated (if you were not using it previ-
ously in non-ARTS™ operation).
If you move out of range for more than one minute (four pollings), your radio will sense
that no signal has been received, three beeps will sound, and the display will revert to
“OUT.RNG.” If you move back into range, your radio will again beep, and the display will
change back to the “IN.RNG” indication.
During ARTS™ operation, your operating frequency will continue to be displayed, but no
changes may be made to it or other settings; you must terminate ARTS™ in order to re-
sume normal operation. This is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental loss of
contact due to channel change, etc.

key for one second. You will
observe the “OUT.RNG” display on the LCD below the operat-
ing frequency. ARTS™ operation has now commenced.
3. Every 25 seconds, your radio will transmit a “polling” call to the other station. When
that station responds with its own ARTS™ polling signal, the
display will change to “IN.RNG” to confirm that the other station’s
polling code was received in response to yours.
4. Press the
