Hey I was wondering what it means by CSQ under the tone category?
I noticed in the database, some freqs in my state have CSQ for the Tone. What is this? Can it be picked up by my pro-97 ? It's a conventional frequency.
CSQ (Carrier SQuelch), whether selective squelch (CTCSS, DCS, etc.) or basic squelch (muted), is routinely used on repeaters to keep repeater stations from being keyed-up constantly and to keep other nearby repeaters on the same input frequency from keying the squelch-equipped one unnecessarily.
Tones, PL, CSQ, BM, M, RM, DPL, how do i use them and when?
I've seen a few frequencies in the database that list "CSQ" under the CTCSS/DCS tone column. Can anyone tell me (at a "dummies" level) what that means? Many thanks in advance!
what does CSQ mean and how do i kno if a freq is CSQ? also if im programing my radio and it says the freq tone is CSQ what do i do? Frequency License Type Tone CH Description 453.12500 WPVW419 B CSQ Fire/EMS Tone-Outs FM thanks!
CSQ = Carrier squelch CTCSS = Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System CTCSS brand names: Private-Line (PL), Channel Guard (CG), Quiet Tone (QT) DPL = Motorola Digital Private Line (DPL). Motorola trademarked the DPL name, so other radio manufacturers have to call it something different. Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) appears to be the generic name. Although DCS and DPL are the same thing, if it's ...
The signal goes just as far. How much signal you need to decode PL or DPL would depend on how clean the original signal is, the level of the PL or DPL modulation and the alignment and quality of the receiving equipment. As for CSQ, it is simply the absence of PL or DPL, and you are back to the unanswerable question of how far the signal goes.
