1. CTCSS COde SeLeCTION

The Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System
(CTCSS) is a squelch quieting system that
allows groups of users to share the same
channel without disturbing each other. It uses
1 of 38 low frequency tones to open and
close the squelch on the radio . The CTCSS
codes do not prevent others from hearing
your transmission . They simply provide you
with a quieter channel by preventing you
from hearing transmissions that are not using
the same code as you and are therefore not
directed at you .
Note: To communicate with other UHF
radios using CTCSS, all radios you wish to
communicate with must be switched to the
same channel and have the same CTCSS
code selected . If you wish to receive signals
from UHF radios that are not using CTCSS
