The George FCC is loaded with features like FM mode and CTCSS tones to give you clearer transmissions, and added privacy.
The George FCC from President Electronics is one of the few CB radios on the market that offers FM mode, as well as CTCSS and DCS. So not only can you take advantage of the increased clarity on FM and makes for less noisy communication amongst friends. It also comes with some of the other new features President has rolled out like their Noise Reduction Circuit, and Scan Skip.
In FM mode you'll get better audio quality and a signal that's less prone to electrical or atmospheric interferences. FM maintains a more consistent audio quality over a longer transmission range compared to AM, but AM has increased range and can be heard longer as the signal fades. You can utilize the FM mode and the NRC Noise Reduction Circuit to eliminate that snap, crackle, and pop you hear, and the background noises you transmit.
CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) & DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch) are functions for the FM mode that reduce interference by assigning a unique tone to your transmission. When you program a tone or code into a frequency your signal is encoded, when a friend does the same you both will ignore communications from others and only hear each other. when a radio detects the coded signal it opens the squelch allowing the audio to be heard. In effect, CTCSS allows two or more people to only hear each other and to block out any other radio signals on that frequency. This system doesn't prevent others from hearing you, however.
This is perfect for creating talk groups between truck drivers and pilot or escort vehicles, allowing you to communicate clearly without cross talk or interference from others on the same channel.
