Privacy Codes

Your microTALK

radio incorporates two 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 83 privacy codes. This provides a total of

121

Privacy Codes

. Either system can be used on channels (CH1-CH22), but

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