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.

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. Likewise, signals that
you transmit will only be heard by parties whose CTCSS/ DCS signaling matches
your transceiver.
