QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT) [ANALOG]
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 only open
when a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signals that
you transmit will only be heard 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. This allows you to
ignore (not hear) these calls. 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.
Operator Selectable Tone (OST) [Analog]
If a button has been programmed with [Operator Selectable Tone], you can
reprogram the QT tone or DQT code on each of your channels by OST List.

[Operator Selectable Tone] button to activate the OST function. Press this
button again to turn the OST function off.
RADIO ACCESS NUMBER (RAN) [NXDN]
RAN is a signaling system designed for NXDN digital radio communications.
When a channel is set up with a RAN, squelch will only open when a call
containing a matching RAN is received. If a call containing a different RAN is
made on the same channel you are using, you will not hear the call. This allows
you to ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same channel.
COLOR CODE (CC) [DMR]
Color Code is a digital signaling for DMR protocol to enable smooth
communication among groups using the same channel.
