Search - the scanner searches for and displays any CTCSS or DCS tone that accompanies the transmission.

CTCSS - the scanner only opens squelch if the CTCSS tone you select is also present with the signal. The scanner then prompts you to enter or scroll to the desired tone.

DCS - the scanner only opens squelch if the DCS tone you select is also present with the signal. The scanner then prompts you to enter or scroll to the desired tone.

Set Lockout - the scanner does not stop on the channel if the tone you select is present. The scanner prompts you to select a CTCSS or DCS tone.

Notes:

The default setting is Off.

See “What is CTCSS/DCS?” on Page 17 for a complete list of CTCSS and DCS tones.
