5.6. Signaling Functions (2-Tone, 5-Tone, CTCSS, DTCS)

The radio supports various signaling formats. When a channel is programmed with 2-Tone, 5-Tone, CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System), or DTCS (Digital Tone-Coded Squelch), the radio will only open its squelch and allow audio through when it receives a signal containing the correct tone or code. This helps to filter out unwanted communications. Up to ten 2-tone and eight 5-tone codes can be decoded per channel.
