Privacy Codes (CTCSS and DCS Tone Codes)
This radio is fitted with 50 Analogue Privacy codes (also known as
CTCSS, sub-codes or sub-channels) and 104 Digital Privacy codes
(also known as DCS codes).
Only one type of Privacy code can be used on each channel.
Selecting a Digital Privacy code will override any Analogue Privacy
code settings. If the other unit(s) do not have privacy codes ensure
your units privacy codes (analogue and digital) are set to 'Off'.
Please note that privacy codes do not prevent other radio users
from hearing your conversation. They simply allow you to ignore
messages that are using a different privacy code.
