Quiet Talk (Qt)/ Digital Quiet Talk (Dqt); Operator Selectable Tone (Ost) - Kenwood TK-2180 Instruction Manual

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. 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.
