CTCSS / DCS

CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System)

The CTCSS squelch codes allows a group to talk to each other without 

hearing other users on the same channel. The group needs to use the 

same code. And as there are 50 CTCSS codes available the chances of 

nearby users using the same code is unlikely. 

DCS (Digital Coded Squelch)

DCS is a digital version of CTCSS. It provides 104 extra, digitally coded 

squelch codes that follow after the 50 CTCSS codes. Follow the steps 

for changing CTCSS code but select a DCS code as desired.
