Privacy Codes
Your radio incorporates two advanced coded squelch systems that can help
to reduce interference from other users on any given channel. CTCSS
(Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) provides 38 privacy codes and
DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch) provides 83 privacy codes. This provides a
total of 121 Privacy Codes. Either system can be used on all channels, but
both systems cannot be used on the same channel at the same time.
For ease of use and reduce interference from other users, the 22 channels of
your radio has been customized, see Channel and Default Privacy Code
Table.
