Carrier Squelch Operation 
A signal that matches the programmed receive frequency will be 
heard if it is of sufficient strength to exceed the squelch 
threshold. An on frequency signal exceeding the squelch 
threshold level will be indicated by the BUSY icon. 
CTCSS/DCS Operation 
CTCSS or DCS signaling adds an additional condition to carrier 
squelch operation. In addition to the signal having to exceed the 
squelch threshold level, the received signal must also have the...

 2-tone signaling allows users to receive only calls intended for them. However, more than one radio transmitting at a time will still cause interference. Do not transmit if the BUSY icon is on. Wait until the channel is clear before transmitting. 
Transmitting to Other Radios 
 Before transmitting, the FCC requires you monitor the channel to make sure it is clear. Transmitting while someone else is transmitting will create interference and disrupt both conversations....

priority channel. This is the primary difference between Public 
Safety scan and Priority scan.  
If activity is detected on a channel, the radio will pause scan and 
display that channel. While stopped on a non-priority channel, 
the radio will continue to check for activity on the priority 
channel(s). This is called priority channel lookback, and the 
receive audio from the non-priority channel will be briefly 
interrupted while priority lookback occurs. While the radio...

 Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide 
If activity is detected on a priority channel the radio will switch to 
and display the priority channel. 
Transmitting While in Scan Mode 
In Busy scan mode, when PTT is pressed while scanning, the 
radio will transmit on the last received channel. If no last receive 
channel has been established since scan was started, transmit 
will occur on the scan start channel. 
In Priority scan or Public Safety scan mode, the radio will always 
transmit on the first priority channel...
