    IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT USING TONES

    • If you are planning on using this feature, make sure that all of the radios in your group are set to the same tone. Test the radios of different brands to be sure they are compatible. If different, just leave tone "off" in a non-compatible radio. ..
    • It is best to talk one at a time on a given radio channel. If you use the TONE options your radios you should check them all together befor separating. Further if you are "mixing" different models or manufacturers radios, test them tool. NOT ALL TONE CHANNELS ARE THE SAME WITH ALL MANUFACTURERS

    • TONES (sometimes called CTCSS) are not a secure method of communications, anyone can hear your conversation. If you turn "off" the TONE, you will hear every transmission on a given channel in a given area, even if they have CTCSS set "on" in their radios.

    • If someone is calling for help and they have NO tone set in their radio - you won't hear them if tone is set on in your radio.

    • If a person has tone on, and is calling for help...they may not be aware you hear them and may not respond.
    • Note- Information to be posted, or a LINK listed, relating to tone standards or manufacturer's with common tone configurations soon.
