17 OST
OST (Operator Selectable Tone) can be used to change
the Decode and Encode pair of the QT/DQT signaling
without changing the transmit frequency and receive
frequency.
If multiple talk groups use the same frequency but a
different QT/DQT is used, the dispatcher can specify the
talk group using this function.
A maximum of 40 pairs of QT/DQT Decode and
QT/DQT Encode can be configured in the OST Table. A
QT/DQT Encode/ Decode pair and the OST Table can be
switched for each channel by pressing the OST key.
A QT/DQT Decode/ Encode pair for OST can be
configured for each channel by using KPG-101D.
Note:
OST is disabled if the zone or channel is changed. OST is
enabled again if the transceiver returns to a channel while OST
Status Memory is enabled.
