CTCSS Privacy Codes
•
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) is an advanced tone coding system allowing you to select one of 38 privacy codes to reduce interference from other users on the channel.
If you are using a privacy code, both radios must be tuned to the same channel and privacy code to communicate. Each channel will remember the last privacy code you selected.
Your range will vary depending on terrain and conditions.
Mode/Power Button
To select a privacy code:
Maximum Range
Reduced Range
Reduced Range
In flat, open country your radio will operate at maximum range.
Buildings and foliage in the path of the signal can reduce the range of the radio.
Dense foliage and hilly terrain will further reduce the range of the radio.
On FRS Channels 8 through 14, your radio automatically switches to low power, which will limit the range the radio can communicate.
Remember, you can achieve maximum range by using maximum range extender. See page 5 for details.
