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 S
quelch) provides 83 privacy codes. This provides a
t

NOTE: To successfully communicate using a privacy
c
ode, 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.

but allows all signals to be heard on a channel that is set to 00 both on the CTCSS and DCS systems.
CTCSS Privacy Codes
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) is an advanced tone coding system allowing you to select one of 38 privacy codes to reduce incoming transmissions from other users on the channel.
NOTE: If you are using a CTCSS privacy code, both
radios must be tuned to the same channel and CTCSS privacy code to communicate. Each channel will remember the last privacy code you selected.
