The differences from Code Squelch are:• You can send or receive Status codes containing up to 5 digits.• Selective Call opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives a predeterminedDTMF code in the correct sequence (3-digit or 4-digit ID code — 1-digit Intermediatecode — Status code of up to 5 digits).Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. This is usefulwhen you want to send information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask yourdealer for details.Note: Selective Call cannot be used on this transceiver if Code Squelch (page 14) or DTMF NumberDisplay (page 19) have been programmed.RECEIVINGWhen you receive the correct ID and Intermediate codes, the squelch opens andyou will hear the call.
