FUNCTION- CTCSS & DCS WHAT IS CTCSS AND DCS? CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch) modify the transmission signal to allow multiple users to share the same channel without disturbing each other. This is an important feature on a radio when there are many radio users in the same area. CTCSS continuously superimposes any one of about 50 low-pitch audio tones on the transmitted signal, ranging from 67 to 254 Hz.

To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure: • Transmit no more than 50% of the time. •...
