1:CTCSS Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) is used with Amateur Radio, FRS, GMRS, Business Band, and other systems. When you select this option, the scanner only opens squelch when a matching CTCSS tone is present on the frequency. 2:DCS Digital Coded Squelch is similar to CTCSS, but instead of differentiating codes using frequencies, DCS always uses the same frequency but encodes it with a binary value. When you select this option, the scanner only opens squelch when a matching DCS value is present on the frequency. 3:OFF The scanner opens squelch regardless of the presence of tones.
