Yup, that's essentially what it does. You can test it pretty easily with 2 hand helds, and turn the RX tone on or off on one of them. They'll usually show that they're receiving, but won't put any audio out to the speaker.

Your radio still receives everything on the frequency but does not open the squelch if it has tones set.

They would have the same base frequency but the tone would be specific. (at least that is what I gathered) @WSDS356 Oh I get that. I was more wondering if you could get out at all with matching tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
