Privacy Codes
•
Your microTALK® 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.
To successfully communicate using a privacy code, both
the sending and receiving radios must be tuned to the same
channel and to the same privacy code system (CTCSS or DCS)
and privacy code number. Each channel will remember the last
privacy code system and number you select.
The privacy code 00 is not a privacy code, but allows all signals
to be heard on a channel that is set to 00 on both
the CTCSS and DCS systems.

Licensed users will be issued a call sign by the FCC, which should be used for station identification when
operating this radio. GMRS users should also cooperate by engaging in permissible transmissions only, avoiding
channel interference with other GMRS users, and being prudent with the length of their transmission time.
For licensing information and application forms, please call the FCC Hotline at 800-418-FORM. Request form
#159 and form #605. Questions regarding the license application should be directed to the FCC at 888-CALLFCC. Additional information is available on the FCC’s website at www.fcc.gov.
