CDCSS or Digital Code Squelch (DCS) is a further development of the continuous tone-coded squelch system or CTCSS that uses a slow-speed, binary data stream passed as sub-audible data along with the transmission. Motorola calls this Digital Private Line or DPL. It consists of a 23-bit telegram sent repeatedly on the channel at 134 bits per second along with the voice transmission. This allows for over 100 possible fleet codes to be used. This gives it an advantage over the CTCSS tones in that there are more possible codes to use; however, it does use more bandwidth and can be affected by voice tones below 300 Hz if not properly filtered by the radio circuitry. Below is a chart of the DCS codes:
