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.

To change the QT/DQT settings of a channel:

1 With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the PTT

switch and Side 1 key while turning the transceiver power

ON.

• Continue to hold the PTT switch and Side 1 key until the LED

lights orange and the transceiver announces “Self”.

2 Release the PTT switch and Side 1 key.

• The transceiver announces “Channel”.

• Pressing the

Side 1 key or Side 2 key will toggle between QT,

DQT, and Channel setup.

3 Press the Side 1 or Side 2 key to select QT or DQT setup.

• The transceiver announces “QT” or “DQT”, depending on your

selection.

4 Press and release the PTT switch, then rotate the Channel

selector to your desired channel.

• Upon releasing the PTT switch, the transceiver announces “QT

One” or “DQT One”, depending on your selection.

5 Press the Side 1 or Side 2 key to increment/ decrement the

Tone number, to select the new tone or code.

• Tone numbers and their corresponding tones/ codes are

provided in the table on pages 17 and 18.

• Press and hold the

Side 1 or Side 2 key to increment/

decrement the QT or DQT number by 5 at a time.

• A voice announcement will inform you of the currently selected

QT or DQT number.
