A friend, despite advice, plans to this "privacy" code on his ICOM units:
Squelch TPL 77.0 Sig/Sys 1
Can I duplicate that on a GT-3TP?

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

77.0 Hz is a standard PL tone. You can program that in almost any radio. On Baofengs Menu 11 R-CTCS sets the receive PL tone and Menu 13 T-CTCS sets the transmit PL tone.
I'm not familiar with Icom programming software so I have no idea what Squelch TPL and Sig/Sys 1 mean in real life.

If I recall from my Icom days, Transmit PL
Sig/Sys 1 probably refers to the signaling type. That could be two tone, 5 tone, DTMF or MDC1200.
But it's been a while since I touched Icom gear.
Thanks guys. I still hope to convince him to run open freq. At least you can hear who is on the channel and be polite / discreet.

If it's a portable, usually setting one of the buttons under/above the PTT button to 'monitor' is standard procedure.
If it's a mobile, set it up for "off hook decode" or whatever the heck Icom calls it. That'll switch to carrier squelch when taking the mobile mic off the hanger.
Your friend does understand that anyone with a radio sitting on that frequency without any squelch tone set will hear the conversation, yes?
Same with a scanner ....
