Operation
CTCSS / DCS
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System)
The CTCSS squelch codes allows a group to talk to each other without
hearing other users on the same channel. The group needs to use the
same code. And as there are 50 CTCSS codes available the chances of
nearby users using the same code is unlikely.
DCS (Digital Coded Squelch)
DCS is a digital version of CTCSS. It provides 104 extra, digitally coded
squelch codes that follow after the 50 CTCSS codes. Follow the steps
for changing CTCSS code but select a DCS code as desired.
