  • Page 18: Quiet Talk (Qt)/ Digital Quiet Talk (Dqt)

    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 open only when a call containing a matching tone or code is received.

  • Page 19: 5-Tone Signaling

    5-TONE SIGNALING 5-tone Signaling is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives the 5 tones programmed in your transceiver.

However, if the station you want to contact is too far away, or there are geographical obstacles in the way, you may not be able to contact the station.

  • Page 28: Scrambler

    CRAMBLER Although the scrambler function does not offer complete privacy with your calls, it does prevent others from easily listening in on your calls. When activated, the transceiver distorts your voice so that anybody listening to your conversation will be unable to clearly hear what you are saying. In order for members of your own group to clearly hear your call while you are using the scrambler, all other members must also activate the scrambler functions on their transceivers.
