Activating/deactivating the pilot tone evaluation
The pilot tone supports the receiver's squelch function and protects
against interference due to RF signals from other devices.
The transmitter adds an inaudible signal, known as the pilot tone, to the
transmitted signal. The receiver detects and evaluates the pilot tone.
