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. 16
