QUIET TALK (QT) AND DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)
QT and DQT tones are encoded tones that help to
relieve you of unwanted calls. Calls that are received
on your channel that do not have the proper tone will
not be heard. You will only hear calls that are received
if they carry the tones that match those set up in your
transceiver.
Likewise, other persons will not hear your transmissions
unless their transceivers have a QT/DQT tone that
matches yours.
Your dealer will program tones onto the channels.
However, you can change those tones by following the
instructions below.
Note: Depending on dealer programming, if you change the channel, or
turn the transceiver power OFF and then back ON, your tones may
revert back to the original tones set up by your dealer.
