You do not need to have ctcss running on the R2 to receive 
transmissions that do have ctcss running.

It takes a short time for the ctcss decoder to "kick in" and decide 
that a tone is present and compare it to the one that you have 
selected on the R2, before opening the squelch on the R2 
Turn off the ctcss on your R2 and you should be fine.
