PRIVACY CODES

CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch) and DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch)
allow several users to share the same channel frequency without disturbing
each other. With CTCSS or DCS enabled, the channel is muted to all incoming
signals unless they carry the same CTCSS or DCS tone. When a transmission
with the same tone is received, the channel un-mutes and the voice audio
can be heard. When the transmission ends the channel becomes muted
again. Transmissions that do not have the same tone will not be heard.
Your BR200 radio has 142 privacy codes, which can be used on any channel.
The selected privacy code may be different for each channel, but must be
the same for a channel on all radios you wish to talk to. Programming a new
privacy code overwrites any previous code programmed.
privacy codes can be set using the FREE programming software that can be
downloaded from www.midlandusa.com.
You will not be able to hear or talk to other radios that do not match your
frequency and Privacy Code by channel and frequency.
