DIGITAL CODED SQUELCH (DCS)
Digital Code Squelch (DCS) is another application which allows you to ignore (not
hear) unwanted calls. It functions the same way as CTCSS. The only differences
are the encode/ decode method and the number of selectable codes. For DCS,
you can select from 104 different codes.
