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.
Note: If you select a CTCSS Privacy Code, any pre-selected
DCS Privacy Code will be cancelled and vice-versa.
