13.4 Receiving a Signal
The unit is continuously in the receive mode when the unit is switched ON and not transmitting.
In order for other people to receive your transmission, they must also be
on the same channel and have set the same CTCSS code or DCS code.
( See chapter “13.6 Changing Channels” and “13.7 CTCSS (Continious
Tone Coded Squelch System) / DCS (Digital Coded Squelch)”.
Either CTCSS or DCS can be used but never both at the same time.

• Hold the unit in a vertical position
with the microphone 10cm
from the mouth and speak into the microphone.

13.7 CTCSS (Continious Tone Coded Squelch System) /
DCS (Digital Coded Squelch)
License free PMR radio's operating on the 446 MHz frequency band, like the Twintalker RC-6405
PMR, have 8 available radio channels. If there are many PMR users in your neighborhood, there
is a chance that some of these users are operating on the same radio channel.
To prevent that you receive signals from other users,
sub-channels have been integrated.
Two PMR radio's will only be able to communicate with each other when they are operating on
the same radio channel and when they have selected exactly the same sub-channel.
There are two kind of sub-channels :
• Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS)
• Digital Coded Squelch (DCS)
When using CTCSS, a low frequency tone (between 67 and 250 Hz) will be transmitted along
with the voice sig
nal. There are 38 available tones to choose from. You are free to choose one
of these 38 available tones. Due to filtering, these tones will generally not be audible so they will
not disturb the communication.
DCS is similar to CTCSS, but instead of sending a continu
ous tone of a selected frequency, a
digital data transmission is added to the radio signal. This Digital Code is transmitted at a really
low rate, around 134 bits per second (the code is 23 bits long). Only the PMR's of the latest
generation will support DCS. There are 83 available DCS codes that can be used. Since earlier
models will only support CTCSS it will be better to use DCS to prevent that other users will be
audible during your PMR conversations.
