PRIVACY CODES
Your BR180 radio has 142 Privacy Codes, which can be used on any channel and can be
set using the FREE programming software downloaded from the www.midlandusa.com
website or the Keypad Programming as explained above.
Privacy Codes are CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch) and DCS (Digitally Coded
Squelch) that allows several radios to use the same frequency without disturbing each other.
• When a transmission with the same Frequency and Privacy Code is received, the
channel un-mutes and the voice audio can be heard.
• Transmissions with the same Frequency but a different Privacy Code will not be heard.
• Frequencies without a Privacy Code can hear all transmissions on the same frequency
but will not be able to join the conversation. (This is known as “Open Squelch”.)
• You can assign a different Privacy Code to the same frequency multiple times to create
separate channels.
• Programming a new Privacy Code overwrites any previous code programmed.
