PRIVACY CODES
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digitally Coded
Squelch) are systems that allow several users to share the same channel without
disturbing each other� With CTCSS or DCS enabled, the channel is muted to all
incoming signals unless they carry the correct CTCSS or DCS tone� When a
transmission with the correct tone is received, the channel un-mutes and the voice
audio can be heard� When the transmission ends the channel becomes muted
again� Transmissions that do not have the correct tone will not be heard�
Your BR200 Series radio has 142 Privacy Codes, which are available on any
channel� The selected Privacy Code may be different for each channel�
Privacy Codes can only be set using the programming software� This
software can be downloaded from the midlandusa�com website�
