Privacy Codes

Your microTALK

®

radio incorporates two (2) advanced coded squelch

systems that can help to reduce interference from other users on any
given channel. CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System)
provides 38 privacy codes and DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch)
provides 104 privacy codes. This provides a total of 142 Privacy
Codes
. Either system can be used on all channels, but both systems
cannot be used on the same channel at the same time.

To successfully communicate using a privacy code, both
the sending and receiving radios must be tuned to the same
channel and to the same privacy code system (CTCSS or
DCS) and privacy code number. Each channel will remember
the last privacy code system and number you select.

The privacy code 00 is not a privacy code, but allows all
signals to be heard on a channel that is set to 00 on both
the CTCSS and DCS systems.

Set CTCSS Privacy Codes

To select a CTCSS privacy code:

1. After selecting a channel, press the

Mode button until the CTCSS icon appears
and the small numbers flash on the display
(01 through 38).

If DCS is turned on at the channel
selected, the display will flash the
CTCSS icon and “OFF.” To switch from
DCS to CTCSS, press the Channel Up
or Channel Down button while the
display is flashing “OFF.” The display
will then show the small numbers
flashing and you will then be able
to proceed to step 2.

2. Press using the Channel Up or Channel

Down button to select a CTCSS privacy
code. You can hold the Channel Up or
Channel Down button for fast advance.
