A flashing "DCS" will be in the left status display to indicate the radio is in DCS scanning mode. In this mode, whenever the
radio is receiving an RF signal on the selected MR channel or VFO frequency, the lower display will cycle through the DCS
codes as they are being tested. Once the bits of the received DCS code are determined, the "DCS" indicator will stop
flashing.
Press the [MENU] key to save the scanned tone into memory (VFO Mode Only) then press the [EXIT] key to exit the menu.
Don't forget to set VFO menu 10 back to OFF when the DCS tone is no longer required.
6.4 Dual Watch
The BAOFENG GT-5R features Dual Watch functionality (single receiver) with the ability to lock the transmit frequency to
one of the two channels it monitors.
• Enabling or disabling Dual Watch mode
1. Press the [MENU] [7] to get to MENU 7: TDR.
2. Press [MENU] key to select.
3. Use the ▲and ▼ keys to enable or disable.
4. Press the [MENU] key to confirm.
5. Press the [EXIT] key to exit the menu.
Due to the way the BAOFENG GT-5R is constructed, whenever one of the A or B Frequencies (VFO/MR) goes active, it will
default to transmit on that channel. This behavior can be inconvenient, especially if when monitoring a frequency, you
should not transmit on. There is a menu option available to lock the transmitter to one of the A or B channels.
• Locking the Dual Watch transmit channel
1. Press the [MENU] [3][4] to get to MENU 34: TDR-AB.
2. Press [MENU] key to select.
3. Use the ▲and ▼ keys to select A (upper) or B (lower) display.
4. Press the [MENU] key to confirm.
5. Press the [EXIT] key to exit the menu.
