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, but use the the radio to access repeaters, and make for a more secure 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 enhance privacy and reduce interference by assigning a unique tone to your transmission. When you program a tone or code into a frequency your signal is encoded and can only be heard by someone with that code saved as well. when a radio detects the coded signal it opens the squelch allowing the audio to be heard, but if the other listener doesn't have the code they won't hear a thing.
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.
