PRIVACY CODES
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch) and DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch) allow several users to
share the same channel frequency without disturbing each other. With CTCSS or DCS enabled, the
channel is muted to all incoming signals unless they carry the same CTCSS or DCS tone. When a
transmission with the same tone is received, the channel un-mutes and the voice audio can be heard.
When the transmission ends the channel becomes muted again. Transmissions that do not have the
same tone will not be heard.
Your BR180 radio has 142 Privacy Codes, which can be used on any channel. The selected Privacy
Code may be different for each channel, but must be the same for a channel on all radios you wish to
talk to. Programming a new Privacy Code overwrites any previous code programmed.
Privacy Codes can be set using the FREE programming software that can be downloaded from the
www.midlandusa.com website.
• You will not be able to hear or talk to other radios that do not match your frequency
and Privacy Code by channel and frequency.
