Monitor; Quiet Talk (Qt) And Digital Quiet Talk (Dqt) - Kenwood TK-2102 Instruction Manual

Monitor

When no signals are present, the squelch on the
transceiver automatically mutes the speaker so you
will not hear background noise. To manually
deactivate the squelch, press and hold the Monitor
key. This is useful when you want to adjust the
volume level, or when you need to hear a weak
signal.
• The LED indicator lights green while the Monitor key
is pressed.

Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT)

Some channels may have pre-programmed QT/DQT
tones. A QT/DQT tone is a subaudible tone which
allows you to ignore (not hear) calls from other
parties who are using the same channel.
When you receive a signal that has a tone different
from the one set up in your transceiver, you will not
hear the signal. Likewise, signals that you transmit
will only be heard by parties whose QT/DQT tone
matches the tone set up in your transceiver.
Note: Although using channels set up with QT/DQT tones relieves
you from listening to unwanted calls, it does not mean your calls will
be private.
