Setting the CTCSS sub-channel

Each channel has 38 sub-channels to let you set up group of users within the same channel for more private communication. If you have set the sub-channel, you can only communicate with other radio users tuned to the same channel and sub-channel.

To turn the sub-channel function off, simply set the sub- channel to 0 (zero). You can then communicate with other radio’s setting to the same channel who also turns off the sub-channel operation (or whose unit does not have the sub-channel feature).

a. Press the MENU button twice, the current CTCSS sub- channel number flashes on the LCD screen.

b. Press the UP or DOWN button to select one of the 38 CTCSS sub-channels.

c. Press the PTT button to confirm the CTCSS sub-channel setting.
