QUIET TALK/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK
QT (Quiet Talk) and DQT (Digital Quiet Talk) are functions
that reject signals from undesired parties that are using the
same channel as you. You will hear audio from the speaker
only when you receive a signal that contains a tone or code
matching the one set up on the channel you are using.
Likewise, when you transmit on a channel set up with QT or
DQT, the receiving station must have a matching tone or code
in order to hear your signal.
You can select a tone or code for each channel. There are 45
QT tones and 174 DQT codes. After changing the QT/ DQT
setting, confi rm that the other members in your group have
selected the same tone or code.
