Privacy Codes

Your microTALK

®

radio incorporates two (2) advanced coded squelch

systems that can help to reduce interference from other users on any
given channel. CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System)
provides 38 privacy codes and DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch)
provides 104 privacy codes. This provides a total of 142 

Privacy

Codes

. Either system can be used on all channels, but both systems

cannot be used on the same channel at the same time.

To successfully communicate using a privacy code, both 
the sending and receiving radios must be tuned to the same
channel and to the same privacy code system (CTCSS or
DCS) and privacy code number. Each channel will remember
the last privacy code system and number you select.

The privacy code 00 is not a privacy code, but allows all
signals to be heard on a channel that is set to 00 on both 
the CTCSS and DCS systems.

Set CTCSS Privacy Codes

To select a CTCSS privacy code:

1.

After selecting a channel, press the 

Mode

button until the CTCSS icon appears

and the small numbers flash on the display
(01 through 38).

If DCS is turned 

on

at the channel

selected, the display will flash the 
CTCSS icon and “OFF.” To switch from 
DCS to CTCSS, press the 

Channel Up

or 

Channel Down

button while the

display is flashing “OFF.” The display 
will then show the small numbers
flashing and you will then be able 
to proceed to step 2.
