■ Tone squelch operation | ■ Pocket beep operation | |
The tone squelch opens only when receiving a signal con- taining a matching CTCSS (subaudible) tone. You can silently wait for calls from group members using the same tone.

NOTE: The transceiver has 51 tone frequencies and con- sequently their spacing is narrow compared with units hav- ing 38 tones. Therefore, some tone frequencies may receive interference from adjacent tone frequencies.
Tone frequencies and tone squelch ON/OFF settings are automatically stored in memory channels for easy recall.
This function uses CTCSS (subaudible) tones for calling and can be used as a “common pager” to inform you that some- one has called while you were away from the transceiver.

A subaudible tone matched with the station’s tone frequency is necessary. Use the tone squelch at left or a CTCSS (sub- audible) tone encoder (p. 7).
