TONE SQUELCH AND POCKET BEEP

■ Tone squelch frequency/DTCS code setting

D Tone and DTCS squelches
The tone squelch (CTCSS) or DTCS squelch opens only
when receiving a signal containing a matching subaudible
tone or DTCS code, respectively. You can silently wait for a
specified signal using the same tone or code.
D Reverse tone/DTCS squelch
The reverse tone/DTCS squelch is convenient if you want
to ignore a specific signal. The receiver mutes the squelch
when a signal with the matched tone or code is received.
"T SQL-R" / "DTCS -R" is displayed when the reverse tone
squelch/reverse DTCS squelch is set.
D Pocket beep
These functions use subaudible tones or DTCS codes for
calling and can be used as a "common pager" to inform you
that someone has called while you were away from the re-
ceiver.
