Setting CTCSS privacy codes
Normally, any FRS radio that is within range and using the
same channel can hear FRS conversations. To prevent other
radios from hearing you or reduce interference with other
radios, you can enable one of the 142 privacy codes for any
channel. Only radios that have the matching privacy code
will be able to decipher your transmission (see page 46 for a
detailed explanation of CTCSS and DSC privacy codes).
