Setting the Subaudible Tone Option
2:SCAN OPTION → 1:CONVENTIONAL →
Channel No. → 3:TONE DATA
Some radio systems use special tones to prevent interference
from other nearby systems operating on the same
frequencies. When tones are being used, the radios only open
squelch when a transmission with a matching tone is present
on the frequency. Some services, such as FRS, GMRS, and
Business Band refer to these tones as Quiet Codes, Privacy
Codes, or similar and use a number to associate a particular
tone. The table in the back of the manual provides a cross
reference to common associations. For this feature to work,
you need to turn on the Tone Mode (see “Setting Squelch
Mode”).
