Selected + Talkback: The channel you selected prior to activating Scan is the

revert channel. However, you can respond (talkback) to a call if you are currently

receiving on a different channel.

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 open only

when a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signals

you transmit will be heard only by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches your

transceiver.
If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same 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 they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.
