Key lock

Using your mobile radios
Why use a sub-channel?
Use sub-channels to reduce the
risk of interference.
If the sub-channel (CTCSS) is set
to 0 then you will hear calls from
everyone within range who is using
the same channel as you.
To reduce this interference you
should select a sub-channel
between 01 and 38.
If you are using your radio with
another radio that does not use
sub-channels to communicate,
you will need to set the
sub-channel to 0.
CTCSS
Continuous Tone Coded Squelch
System.
When confirming new settings,
if PTT is not pressed within 5
seconds the new setting will
automatically be saved.
