SELECTIVE CALL

CTCSS AND DCS

You may sometimes want to hear calls from only specific persons or groups. In this case, use the Selective Call. This transceiver is equipped with CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digital Coded Squelch). These Selective Calls allow you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls from other persons who are using the same frequency. The transceiver unmutes only when it receives a signal having the same CTCSS tone or DCS code.

Note: CTCSS and DCS do not cause your conversation to be private or scrambled. It only relieves you from listening to unwanted conversations.

CTCSS

A CTCSS tone is a sub-audible tone and is selectable from among the 42 tone frequencies listed in the table on the page 71. The list includes 37 EIA standard tones and 5 non-standard tones.
