Selective Calling

When working with large groups of people on the same channel, there tends to be a lot of crowding in terms of transmissions.
To counteract this crowding, there are several methods of blocking out extra or unwanted transmissions. There are two forms of
selective calling available in two-way radio systems: Group Calling & Individual Calling.
Group calling is a one-to-many form of communication. Every radio in the working group is configured the same way and any
radio will make contact with every other radio in the group.
Individual calling, also known as paging, is a one-to-one form of communication. Every radio is programmed with a unique ID
code, and only by sending out a matching code can you get that radio to open up to your transmissions. A good example of this
is a cellular phone.
The Baofeng UV-5R features three different group calling methods:
• CTCSS
• DCS
• Tone-burst (1750Hz)
The Baofeng UV-5R does not feature any form of individual calling at this time.
Note: Using group calling features does NOT mean that others won't be able to listen in on your transmissions. These features
only provide a way to filter out unwanted incoming transmissions. Any communications sent out while using these features will
still be heard by anyone not employing filtering options of their own.
