Kenwood TM-261A - Manual (Page 43)

DTSS provides another method to selectively communicate
with specific stations. The squelch on the transceiver
opens only when the same 3-digit DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-
Frequency) code is received that is programmed in this
transceiver. You can select a 3-digit code from among
1000 combinations, 000 to 999.
STORING DTSS CODES
DUAL TONE SQUELCH SYSTEM (DTSS)
Note:
Be aware that audible DTMF tones from other transceivers near you
may be picked up by your MC-53DM or MC-45 microphone. If so,
this could prevent the functions described in this chapter from
working correctly.
DTSS does not function while you are storing DTSS codes even if a
code is received that matches one already stored in memory.
