QT/ DQT SETTINGS
Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT) are functions that
reject undesired signals on your channel. You will hear a call
only when you receive a signal that contains a matching QT
tone or DQT code. If a call containing a different tone or code
is received, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call.
Likewise, when transmitting using QT or DQT, the receiving
station must have a matching tone or code to hear your call.
Be aware that other parties can still hear your calls if they set up
their transceiver with the same tone or code.
The default QT/DQT settings for each channel are provided in
the table. {p.11}
To change the QT/DQT settings of a channel:
1 Select your desired channel using the Channel selector.

while turning the transceiver power ON.

current 10’s digit Tone number setting.

(0 ~ 9).

current 1’s digit Tone number setting.
