CTCSS Privacy Codes
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) is an advanced tone
coding system allowing you to select one of 38 CTCSS privacy codes to
reduce incoming transmissions from other users on a channel.
NOTE: If you are using a CTCSS privacy code, both radios must be
tuned to the same channel/privacy code to communicate. Each channel will
remember the last CTCSS privacy code you selected.
IMPORTANT: When using CTCSS Privacy Codes, DCS Codes cannot be used.
