will have different levels of noise reduction. The higher is the level, the louder will be the Squelch. By default, the Squelch
level of H-888S is set on level 4. Make sure you do not set an excessively high squelch level because in this case you may not
be able to receive weaker signals. On the other hand an excessively low Squelch value could enable the Squelch even when
no signals are present. Squelch must always be adjusted when no signals are present. The Time Out timer is settable from 30
sec to 270 sec. only through the programming software. This feature is disabled by default.
CTCSS/DCS tones
CTCSS and DCS tones are similar to access codes and enable the radio to communicate only with the users that are tuned on
the same channel and have set the same code. For each channel, you can set up to 50 CTCSS tones and 210 DCS codes. The
CTCSS/DCS tones are a sort of “access codes” and enable the radio to communicate only with the other users set on the
same frequency and on the same CTCSS/DCS tone. Undesired signals coming from other stations set on the same
frequency but with different CTCSS/DCS tones won’t be received.
