CTCSS
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System)
CTCSS uses a sub-audible tone to open and close the squelch on your radio.
This will allow a number of users to share the same channel without disturbing
one another.

Monitoring the Channel
Monitoring the channel is helpful as it allows you to listen for other CTCSS users
not within your group.
To monitor the channel
Press the MO/TSQ button. If no signals are present, a hissing noise will indicate
an empty channel.
Press the MO/TSQ button again to restore to its previous setting.
