Squelch Control
Squelch Control filters weak signals and radio frequency (RF) noise

Control on this radio is set through the following keypad operation.
To Set Squelch Control:

level while you are in Setup mode on the squelch
adjust function.
3. To adjust your squelch, press the Channel Down button
until you hear a hissing sound, then press
and release the Channel Up button until the hissing
stops. This will establish a “Baseline” squelch.
4. By pressing the Channel Up button further, you will filter
weak and medium strength signals. By pressing Channel
Down button, you will receive weaker signals.

CTCSS and DCS Coding Mode
Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) and
Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) coding are used in two-way radio
systems. These are sub-audible frequencies or digital tones that
are sent continuously with speech to engage other radios with
this feature. This feature is generally used between talk groups on
shared channels. Radios with the same subcode set will hear your
transmission. Radios with both DCS and CTCSS set to Off or 00 will
be able to hear your transmissions.
To Set CTCSS Code Entry:
1. Display will show CTCSS icon and OFF icon flashing.
NOTE
If CTCSS was previously set to a Code number, display will
show the current GMRS channel and flash the CTCSS
icon and Code number.
2. Codes begin at 00 (OFF) and go to 38, followed by 00, and
return back to 01 again. The last used GMRS channel will
be shown in the large digit display.
NOTE
If CTCSS is On, then DCS will be Off. If DCS is On, then
CTCSS will be Off. The radio does does this automatically.
3. Press Channel Up/Down button to change code number,
or press and hold Channel Up/Down button to rapid
advance (scroll).
4. Press Call/Enter/Setup button to save entry and
move to the next setup programming mode.
