4.2 Squelch
With the setting of the squelch level you determine the strength of the incoming signal up to which
the transceiver remains muted. This means that the higher the level is set, the stronger the incoming
signal has to be in order to be audible. You can adjust the level between “0” and “9”, with “5”
being the default setting. To change the settings, please proceed as follows:
• Press
2 x long on the <Function key up> key and the current setting will flash on the display.
• The desired value (0 - 9) can be set by briefly pressing the <Function key up> or <Function key
down> keys.
• Press the <PTT key> exits the settings menu and the transceiver is back in reception mode.
4.3 QT tone and DQT code settings
QT and DQT are functions that reject unwanted signals on your channel. You will only hear a call if
you receive a signal that contains a suitable QT tone or DQT code. If a call with a different tone or
code is received, the squelch function remains active and you will not hear this call. The receiving
station must also have a suitable tone or code in order to hear your call when you transmit with QT
or DQT.
Please note that third parties can still hear your calls if they set their transceiver set to the same tone
or code. To change the settings, please proceed as follows:
• Press
3 x long on the <Function key up> , key and the current setting will flash on the display.
• The desired QT or DQT code can be set by briefly pressing on the <Function key up> or <Func-
tion key down> keys.
• Press the <PTT key> exits the settings menu and the transceiver is back in reception mode.
