Setting Subaudible Tones for Searching
You can set the scanner to only stop on transmissions that either have no subaudible tone
or include a specified CTCSS or DCS tone during searches. This setting affects all search
ranges. For this feature to work, you need to turn on the Tone Mode (see “Setting Squelch
Mode”).
