  • Page 14: Operator Selectable Tone (Ost)

    OPERATOR SELECTABLE TONE (OST) You may have programmed CTCSS or DCS signaling on your transceiver channels. A CTCSS tone/ DCS code is a sub-audible tone/code which allows you to ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same channel. When a channel is set up with a CTCSS tone or DCS code, squelch will only open when a call containing a matching tone or code is received.

  • Page 15: Available Ctcss Frequencies (Hz)

    Note: ◆ The OST function will not work on channels 5 and 35 (emergency channels). ◆ If the OST function is used on channels 22 and 23, only the decoding values will be set. Encoding values will not be set, as transmission is inhibited on these channels (data channels).
