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.
