programmed so that you hear all conversations on a
channel (no signaling), or your user group may be segre-
gated from others using various types of signaling
(CTCSS, DCS, 5-tone or 2-tone).
When special signaling is active, you are not able to hear
other groups talking on the current channel unless the
monitor function is active (see below). If the channel is
busy, the LED glows green.
CTCSS and DCS
CTCSS (continuous tone controlled subaudible
signaling) and DCS (digitally coded squelch) signaling
use subaudible tones to isolate your calls so you only
hear activity for your group.
5-Tone
5-tone signaling uses audible tones to isolate your calls
and direct calls to specific individuals within a group.
You may hear the 5-tone tones at the beginning of a
transmission.
2-Tone
2-tone decoding means that you will only hear calls from
individual radios or groups of radios programmed with
the same two-tone sequence that is programmed into
your radio.
Monitor
Monitor lets you hear all conversations on a channel,
including those outside your group.
Your radio may be programmed so that monitor is
activated when you:
■
Turn on the radio.
■
Send specific types of calls.
■
Press a function key (if assigned).
While monitor is active, the LED flashes green at
medium flash rate.
