UNIDEN XTRAK

CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System)

On congested channels use a CTCSS or DCS code to keep your radio speaker 

silent - unless a signal is received from a radio using the same code you have set for 

that channel. The code is transmitted when you are pressing PTT on a channel that 

you have set a CTCSS code on. Share the code with radio users to hear only their 

transmissions.

When a CTCSS or DCS tone is set for a UHF-CB channel, the CTCSS or DCS tone is 

displayed in the DCS/CTCSS code area. For channels with the setting of CTCSS OFF, 

there will be no display in the DCS/CTCSS code area.

1. Press 

[UP / DOWN]

 to select the desired channel to use CTCSS.

2. Press 

[DCS/CTCSS]

. The 

CTCSS

 icon and the current code displays.

3. Press 

[UP / DOWN]

 to select the desired CTCSS code from 01 - 50.

4. Press 

[DCS/CTCSS]

 once to store the new setting. 

 The 

CTCSS

 icon and code will display for the channel.

To turn off CTCSS (or DCS) select oFF during setting.

DCS (Digital Coded Squelch)

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

codes that follow after the 50 CTCSS codes. CTCSS 01-50, followed by DCS 01-104.

1. Follow the steps for setting a CTCSS code. 
2. Press 

[UP / DOWN] 

until a desired DCS code appears.

3. Press 

[DCS/CTCSS]

 to set. The 

DCS 

icon and code will display for the channel.

NOTE

CTCSS and DCS is not available on CH 05 and CH 35. For your

and guidelines for their use and selection is printed on p.47 - p.49 For 

Australia, Channels 05 and 35 are reserved for Emergency Calls.
