TX6160 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
To activate or deactivate Silent mode on a channel:
1. Select the required channel.
2. Press and hold the SQL key. The selected CTCSS or DCS code will be displayed on that
channel.
Channels that have Silent mode enabled will now remain quiet unless a signal containing your chosen
code is received.
Note: Silent mode cannot be activated unless a CTCSS or DCS code has been selected via the Menu key (See
Menu options for more details). If CTCSS/DCS tones are set to ‘O’, any attempt to activate the Silent mode
will be ignored. When communicating with other radios using CTCSS or DCS, all radios must be switched to
the same channel and have the same CTCS or DCS code selected. To receive signals from radios that are not
using CTCSS or DCS, you will need to disable Silent mode on that channel.
