Selecting A Privacy Code - Midland MICRO MOBILE MXT115V Manual

Selecting a Privacy Code

Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) and Digitally Coded
Squelch (DCS) are systems that allow several users to share the same
channel without disturbing each other. When CTCSS or DCS is enabled
for a selected channel, the channel is muted to all incoming signals unless
they carry the correct CTCSS or DCS tone.
When a transmission with the correct tone is received, the mute is
removed and the voice audio can be heard. When the transmission ends
the channel is muted again. Transmissions that do not have the correct
tone are not heard.
The MXT115 has 142 Privacy Codes (38 CTCSS codes and 104 DCS
codes), which can be applied to any channel. If desired, you can select
a different Privacy Code for each channel. See CTCSS Privacy Codes
Frequency Chart and DCS Privacy Codes Chart for lists of available
Privacy Codes.

set to the same channel (see Selecting the Active Channel) and Privacy
