Privacy Codes

Your microTALK ® radio incorporates two advanced coded squelch systems
that can help to reduce interference from other users on any given channel.
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) provides 38 privacy codes
and DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch) provides 83 privacy codes. This provides
a total of 121 Privacy Codes. Either system can be used on all channels, but
both systems cannot be used on the same channel at the same time.
For ease of use and to reduce interference from other users, the 16 channels
of your radio have been customized, see Channel and Default Privacy
Code Table.
