ctcss (continuous tone coded squelch system) and
Dcs (Digital coded squelch) are quieting systems that
allow a group of radios to talk to each other without
hearing other users on the channel . the system applies
a continuous low level tone to your transmission, and a
matching tone decoder to your receiver's squelch . When
ctcss and Dcs are enabled the channel remains quiet
until someone transmits using the same tone . When the
transmission ends, the channel becomes quiet again . By
using different tones, several groups of people can share
the same channel without disturbing each other .
if ctcss or Dcs has been enabled by the Dealer, it will
have been preset on specific channels .
