Related to this issue, in some radios (and I believe this applies to some
Kenwoods), there also is a DCS option.

Anyone know what DCS is?

As regards the tones transmitted, the answer is yes.  However, if using
CTCSS, your receiver is muted until the tone is received.  So if you, for
example, have two repeaters on the same frequency, hopefully with different
PL tones, you can use your radio's CTCSS feature to only unsquelch when your
chosen repeater transmits.

Hi all:

I often hear the terms pl/ctcss used as they're separat entities.  Aren't
they just interchangeable terms for the same thing(distinctions without a
difference)?

Happy Chrimble, and thanks for any clarification.
