prohibited.
CTCSS/DCS
The dealer can set CTCSS/DCS on the radio channels to ignore calls on the same channel from
irrelevant radios.
If a channel has been set with CTCSS/DCS, the squelch will be activated only when it receives the
proper CTCSS/DCS signals. And only the radios set with the same CTCSS/DCS signaling as
those on yours can hear your call.
Note: Using a CTCSS/DCS channel doesn’t mean your calls are private. If the CTCSS/DCS tones
of other radios are identical with those on yours, they can hear your calls.
■ User Template
A user template includes PTT code-transmitting, encoding, decoding, Busy Channel Lockout, Call
1/2/3/4, RX squelch mode, TX conditions and decoding conditions, etc. Maximum 16 user
templates are available on this radio.
