THE DUAL TONE SQUELCH SYSTEM (DTSS)

DTSS allows squelch activation in the receive mode

when the transceiver receives a three-digit code

matching the DTSS code you have selected.

Once squelch is activated, it operates normally from
then on. If no signal is received for more than two
seconds, squelch turns off until the transceiver
receives a matching code.

Note

This function is not available in some market areas.

1 DTSS Code

You can select DTSS codes from 000 to 999 in the
VFO mode. Store them either in memory channel or

in the call channel.
