Before You Talk
Section 2
The unit has 14 operating frequency channels and 38 group codes.
To talk to others, all users in your group must be using the same
channel and group code.
2-B Selecting the Group Code (CTCSS)
The Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) allows you
to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls from other persons who are
using the same channel. It provides communication with silent
standby since you will only receive calls from group members using
the same group code. The unit is equipped with 38 group codes. The
factory preset is “1”.
