TM-235A/E in detail:

60 non-volatile memory channels
For rapid access, all memory channels can independently store essential data - transmit and receive frequencies, frequency step, tone frequency, etc. - in non-volatile EEPROM, eliminating the need for battery backup.

Built-in CTCSS tone encoder and optional decoder
The optional decoder (TSU-8) enables the setting of different tones for transmit and receive.

DTSS (Dual-Tone Squelch System) and pager
Built-in DTSS (Dual-Tone Squelch System) allows DTMF access: the squelch is opened only when a specific 3-digit code has been received. Using the wildcard asterisk, group calling is also possible.

Powerful multi-scan capability
Choose from several scan modes: full band scan, programmable band scan, and memory scan with programmable memory channel lock-out. There are also 2 scan stop modes: TO (time-operated) and CO (carrier-operated).

DTMF memory function
Up to ten 16-digit DTMF codes with ID can be stored for auto-dial and autopatch use. Redial is also provided.
