Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) Mode (Sub- Channel) Selection

The Coded Tone Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) consists of 38 Sub-Fre- quencies. This feature allows you to utilize the coded squelch tones (01-38) within each main channel (1-15). This enables you to communicate with another party on the same main channel using the same subcode. (The CTCSS filters out unwanted transmissions without the same coded squelch tone.) Each of the 15 GMRS channels may be set independently. Tune the unit to the desired channel before setting the CTCSS code.

To change the CTCSS Sub-channel:

-From the GMRS standby mode, press the MODE button once; a flashing CTC icon and sub-channel number is displayed.

-Press the CHANNEL Up or Down button to select the desired sub- channel for use. The CTC icon will continue flashing with the sub- channel number.

-Momentarily press the PTT button to confirm selection, or simply wait approximately 10 seconds for the selection to affirm by itself.

The CTCSS mode can be turned off by selecting 00 with the Up or Down button.
