Olympian™ Mobile User’s Guide Receiving Transmissions from Other Radios Each channel of your radio may be programmed for carrier squelch operation, CTCSS/DCS operation or 2-tone operation. The following paragraphs describe these modes of operation. Ask your dealer or communications coordinator if you have questions on how your radio has been programmed to operate.
Olympian™ Mobile User’s Guide 2-tone Operation 2-tone signaling allows individual or group calls to be made to your radio.
