QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on
your transceiver channels. A QT tone/ DQT code is a
sub-audible tone/code which allows you to ignore (not hear)
calls from other parties who are using the same channel.
When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code,
squelch will only open when a call containing a matching tone
or code is received. If a call containing a different tone or
code is made on the channel you are using, squelch will not
open and you will not hear the call.
Although it may seem like you have your own private channel
while using QT/ DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if
their transceiver is set up with the same tone or code.
