![49CONTINUOUS TONE CODED SQUELCH SYSTEM (CTCSS)You may sometimes want to hear calls only from specic persons. The Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls from other persons who are using the same frequency. To do so, select the same CTCSS tone as selected by the other persons in your group. A CTCSS tone is subaudible and is selectable from among 42 standard tone frequencies.Note: CTCSS does not cause your conversation to be private. It only relieves you from listening to unwanted conversations.USING CTCSS1 Select your desired band.2 Press [TONE] 2 times to activate the CTCSS function.• The icon appears on the display when the CTCSS function is ON.• Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows: Tone (T) –> CTCSS (CT) –> DCS (DCS) –> Off (no display).3 Press [F], [TONE].• The current CTCSS frequency appears on the display and blinks.4 Rotate the Tuning control to select your desired CTCSS frequency.• Refer to the table below for the available frequencies.• To exit the CTCSS frequency selection, press [F] (ESC).5 Press any key other than the Tuning control and [F] (ESC) to complete the setting.6 When you are called: The transceiver squelch opens only when the selected CTCSS tone is received.

![81CROSS-BAND/ LOCKED-BAND OPERATION (K TYPE MODELS ONLY)This transceiver is capable of receiving signals on one band and retransmitting signals on the other band. This function repeats signals originating from one band, using the other band. For example, a signal received on band A (VHF) is retransmitted on band B (UHF). Similarly, a signal received on band B (UHF) is retransmitted on band A (VHF).Locked-band Repeater: The transceiver uses the same band to receive or transmit a signal. You can set either the A band (A-TX) or B band (B-TX) as the transmit band.Cross-band Repeater: If receiving a signal on the TX band, the transceiver switches the current RX only band to the TX band. This is useful when joining in a group talk. Participants in a group talk need to set a receive and transmit frequency on different bands so as not to miss any conversation within the group.1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 403 (RPT.MOD) {page 20}.2 Set the Repeater operation mode to CROSS (cross-band), A-TX (A band), or B-TX (B band).3 Turn the transceiver power OFF.4 Press [TONE] + Power ON.• The Repeater mode is ON and the and icons blink on the display.• You are unable to perform any transceiver functions while in Repeater mode.• To return to normal operation, turn the transceiver power OFF, then press [TONE] + Power ON.Note:u You cannot activate the Repeater function while in single band operating mode or Weather Channel mode. u Activating the Repeater function switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Checker (ASC).u The Time-Out Timer is locked at 3 minutes.u Resetting the transceiver {page 88} will not cancel the Repeater mode.](https://usermanual.wiki/JVCKENWOOD/397700.Instruction-Manual-2/User-Guide-768506-Page-33.png)
