All of your radios must be set to the same frequency and QuietTalk code for them to talk to each other.
To save trouble and confusion, do not change other settings. Follow the Master Reset procedure on the next page and start over if you think
there is more than one programming problem with a radio.
Frequencies
TK-3130 radios have two channels, which can be set to any of eight different frequencies. This lets you have a
conversation on channel two without others on channel one listening in. If you don’t need this feature, set both channels to the same
frequency to avoid accidentally “switching off channel” and not hearing what is said on the main channel.
If you make a mistake while following the instructions below, turn the radio off before pressing Mon and radio the radio will return to its
previous settings.

QuietTalk Codes
Also known as “Privacy”, “Interference Eliminator ” and “Private Line" codes. When a radio
receives a signal with a different code from the one it is programmed with, you will not hear the signal. Does not make your
conversations private. If your radio is programmed to the zero or "OFF" position, you will hear any signal on that frequency, but
others who have a code programmed will not be able to hear you. Setting a code on one channel changes it for both channels.
