CODE SQUELCH (ID CODE)
Code Squelch is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function turns the
transceiver squelch OFF only when it receives the DTMF ID code that has been
set up in your transceiver. Transceivers that do not transmit the correct code will
not be heard. Consequently, you can communicate with a specific party without
listening to other parties using the same channel.
Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. This is useful
when you want to send information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask your
dealer for details.
Note: Code Squelch cannot be used on this transceiver if Selective Call {page 18} or DTMF Number
Display {page 23} have been programmed.
