what sort of situation would you want the CTCSS Encoding thing? perhaps at the illegal drags? why would you need it?

well @ meets if you wanted to encode with other people there than yes this would be an advantage

but the feature you really want is VOX

where by you can either clip your cb to your jumper or steering wheel and talk without having to press the button there is also an earpiece and mic so you can put it down an talk just like on a car hands free which is good and the cops can't do shit either

you guys decide look @ size weight and features and vox is a definate and ctcss if you want

also Dual Watch

Allows the TX610 to monitor any two selected channels

what if there are lots of people and you want your own channel? cos a cruise will mean plenty of people with cb's and if you want a channel with you closer mates, you can enable the ctcss and have one.

I think some people are confused about ctcss.

What happens with ctcss, is the radios send a signal to each other (similar to a selcall) to tell the radio that it is OK to receive the signal from that particular station.

Enabling ctcss wont help if you are travelling in a group of people.

UHF signals are received by strength.

Example: If there are 5 cars, and you are at the back, and want to talk to the car at the front, you enable ctcss, and the car in front of you is talking, you will not be able to receive the transmission from the car you are wanting to talk to, because the radio won't be able to receive the transmission of the little code if there is a stronger signal between you and the car you want to talk to.

(It will not receive the transmission of the person one car ahead, it will block it, but because the transmission is still there, it will block the receiving/transmissiion capabilities of cars further away.)

OK, if you don't understand how RF works, then that may not make any sense, but with all that said, you can just change channels up or down a few from where the main group are talking.
