TONE SQUELCH AND POCKET BEEP
NOTE:
CB channels 5 and 35 are for only emergency use. The Tone Squelch or Pocket
Beep function is not selectable on these channels.
■
Tone Squelch
The transceiver is equipped with 51 CTCSS tone frequencies and 104 DTCS codes.
The CTCSS/DTCS operation enables you to communicate in the silent standby mode
because you will only receive calls from group members using the same CTCSS tone
frequency or DTCS code.

NOTE:
•The selectable CTCSS tone frequencies and DTCS
codes are listed on the next page.
•The transceiver has 51 tone frequencies so their spacing
is narrow, compared to units having 38 tones. Therefore,
some tone frequencies may receive interference from
adjacent tone frequencies.
•If the transceiver receives a signal with no code or a
code that is different from the code set in the transceiver,
the TX/RX indicator lights green, but the received signal
is not output from the speaker.
