■ 2 types of built-in Code Squelch Systems: CTCSS; Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System DTCS; Digital Tone Code Squelch CTCSS* and DTCS* encoder/decoder are standard, providing quiet stand-by. Audio (voice) signals are output only when a sig- nal with a matched CTCSS or DTCS tone signal is received— very helpful for group communications. -

- Page 21 BASIC OPERATION D D CTCSS FIND This transceiver can detect the CTCSS tone frequency in the re- ceived signal. By monitoring a signal that is being transmitted from the other station, you can determine the tone frequency required to communicate with them. This function very useful when you are going to communicate with unknown CTCSS code number stations.
- Page 22 BASIC OPERATION D D USING THE DTCS CODE This transceiver is equipped with 83 DTCS codes. DTCS operation provides communication with silent standby since you will only re- ceive calls from group members using the same DTCS number. You can assign different numbers to CH 1 to CH 15 independently. q While pushing and holding [PTT], [S-Ring/C-Ring] and [MONI], turn [VOL] to turn the power ON.
