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.
