What is a CTCSS tone?
A sub-audible tone that activates a receiver audio output when present
Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) tones (like PL tones) are sent along with the voice signal. A repeater/receiver set to require a specific tone will only open its squelch if that tone is present, reducing interference from other signals.
