If you want to communicate with the walkie−talkies which are not using a CTCSS,
you must select CTCSS code 0" on your walkie−talkie.
Each CTCSS code complies to a specific tone frequency transmitted by
the walkie−talkie. Communication between the subscribers is only then
possible when both parties are using the same channel and CTCSS
code. An exception is CTCSS code 0". In the case of this setting, all the
calls on the set channel can be heard regardless of the CTCSS code. To
be able to participate in the radio communication, it may be necessary
to switch from CTCSS code 0" to the CTCSS code being used.
Searching for a channel
Signals are searched for in the eight channels in a continuous cycle. SCAN ap-
pears in the display. If an active channel is found, press the t button to par-
ticipate in the radio communication. If the t button is not pressed, channel
search resumes after a short time.
