CTCSS/DCS baofeng Uv-5g Pro

So this is my Question

RADIO 1

(462.5500)

Tx: DCS code 

Rx CTCSS tone

RADIO 2

(462.5500)

Tx: CTCSS tone

Rx: DCS code

 

Theoretically, if they both use the same CTCSS/DCS tones/codes in that recieve/transmit pattern... it would work correct?  It seemed to be working on mine unless the radios just bypassed my selection and was transmitting with no tones/or codes because the software won't allow me to do this? We tried at 3.5 miles out and still could Tx/Rx each other also.  I would think this combination works fine.

 

Also, when using tones/codes unless someone is using a scanner (wide open) or is receiving a strong signal from us and their radio is on 462.5500 without those Tx codes programmed into their Rx they wouldn't hear it correct? And or maybe they would hear it with a strong enough signal and a mixture of squelch being set low enough or a weak signal and squelch at 0?

I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish with cross codes. No transmission is private unless it is encrypted. As you stated, anyone. not having a receiver code will receive and understand what is being sent. The only way to have a true, private conversation is either with two tin cans connected with string or on cell phones. NOTHING is private in shared spectrum.
