Set CTCSS Codes
The additional CTCSS codes serve to avoid listening to other stations on the same channel.
This can even be a combination of baby and parent unit – you would not want to listen to
somebody else’s baby. It is always possible that other users are on the same channel.
Do not mistake this for safety from interception: it is always possible to intercept non-encrypted
analog radio talk; this only needs any PMR 446 transceiver or a scanner.
