SELCALL (Selective Calling)
In addition to the Tone Squelch function for silent standby, you can use the Selcall
(Selective Calling) function. For the Tone Squelch function (Group mode), there are 51
tone or 104 code options when making a call. The Selcall has 100,000 options when
using 5 tone.
Other options in the Selcall are for calling another unit or Group operation on the same
channel, as well as station code and name information, status messages, the answer
back function and auto scan start. These, and many more, can be set using the optional
CS-455 programming software.
NOTE:
•CB channels 5 and 35 are for only emergency use, and the Selcall function cannot be
used on these channels.
•A Selcall transmission is restricted to a total of 3 seconds per minute.

TX code channel selection
TX code is a Selcall code that you can transmit. A maximum of 32 TX code channels can
be entered into the transceiver using the optional CS-455 programming software.
TIP:
A TX code channel name can be assigned to all the 32 TX code channels using
the CS-455 programming software. The TX code channel name allows you to select the
channel easier or to find the channel user.
