Receiving Transmissions from Other Radios 
Each channel of your radio may be programmed for carrier 
squelch operation, CTCSS/DCS operation or 2-tone operation. 
The following paragraphs describe these modes of operation. 
Ask your dealer or communications coordinator if you have 
questions on how your radio has been programmed to operate. 
Carrier Squelch Operation 
A signal that matches the programmed receive frequency will be 
heard if it is of sufficient strength to exceed the squelch 
threshold. An on frequency signal exceeding the squelch 
threshold level will be indicated by a steady green Tx/Busy 
indicator. 
CTCSS/DCS Operation 
CTCSS or DCS signaling adds an additional condition to carrier 
squelch operation. In addition to the signal having to exceed the 
squelch threshold level, the received signal must also have the 
correct CTCSS or DCS tone or code before the audio will be 
passed to the speaker. CTCSS or DCS signaling allows multiple 
users on the same frequency to hear only signals which have 
their correct CTCSS tone or DCS code. An on frequency signal 
with the correct CTCSS or DCS signaling will be indicated by a 
steady green TX/Busy indicator. An amber TX/Busy indicator 
means that the channel is busy, but the correct CTCSS or DCS 
signaling is not present. 
 
CTCSS/DCS allows multiple users to share the same 
frequency. However CTCSS/DCS is only useful to avoid 
disturbing other users with messages not related to them. 
If more than one radio is transmitting at the same time, 
this will cause interference. Do not transmit if the 
TX/Busy indicator is illuminated green or amber. Wait 
until the channel is clear before transmitting. 
2-tone Operation 
2-tone signaling allows individual or group calls to be made to 
your radio. The radio may have been programmed to mute all
