For easy repeater access, or silent monitoring of busy channels, both CTCSS and DCS (Digital Code Squelch) Encoder/Decoder circuits are built in. CTCSS and DCS configuration data may be stored independently in each memory channel. A "Split Tone” mode also allows operation on systems where CTCSS and DCS are used separately on the repeater uplink/downlink.
Extensive Memory System

Memories can store repeater shift information, CTCSS/DCS data, power output level, scanning status ("Skip”), and Alpha-Numeric labels.
Alpha-Numeric Channel Display
Memory channels may be displayed either with the channel frequency or a personalized Alpha-Numeric label, for easy channel recognition. Up to six letters, characters, or numbers may be used for labeling channels.
WIRES Internet Linking Access Feature

MH-48A6J DTMF Direct Access Microphone
The backlit MH48A6J microphone allows direct keypad frequency entry or keypad memory channel recall. On transmit, the MH48A6J allows manual entry of DTMF tones for autopatch use, and the FT2900R also includes a nine-memory 16-digit DTMF Autodialer. Four user-programmable "soft" keys on the microphone may be programmed for easy control of a number of different features.The ABCD keys replicate the functions of the keys on the front panel of the transceiver for maximum convenience while driving.
