CTCSS/CDCSS Operation
Your scanner is equipped with a Continuous Tone
Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) and Continuous
Digital Controlled Squelch System (CDCSS) which allow
squelch to open only when the tone you have programmed
with a specific frequency is received along with a
transmission. When using CTCSS or CDCSS, consider the
following:
