Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT) are functions that 

reject undesired signals on your channel.  You will hear a call 

only when you receive a signal that contains a matching QT 

tone or DQT code.  If a call containing a different tone or code 

is received, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. 

Likewise, when transmitting using QT or DQT, the receiving 

station must have a matching tone or code to hear your call.
Be aware that other parties can still hear your calls if they set 

up their transceiver with the same tone or code.
To change the QT/DQT settings of a channel:
1  With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the PTT 

switch and 

Side 1 key while turning the transceiver power 

ON.

•  Continue to hold the 

PTT switch and Side 1 key until the LED 

lights orange and the transceiver announces “Self”.

2  Release the PTT switch and Side 1 key.

•  The transceiver announces “Channel”.
•  Pressing the 

Side 1 key or Side 2 key will toggle between QT, 

DQT, and Channel setup.

3  Press the Side 1 or Side 2 key to select QT or DQT setup.

•  The transceiver announces “QT” or “DQT”, depending on your 

selection.

4  Press and release the PTT switch, then rotate the Channel 

selector to your desired channel.

•  Upon releasing the 

PTT switch, the transceiver announces “QT 

One” or “DQT One”, depending on your selection.

5  Press the Side 1 or Side 2 key to increment/ decrement the 

Tone number, to select the new tone or code.

•  Tone numbers and their corresponding tones/ codes are 

provided in the table on pages 7 and 8.

•  Press and hold the 

Side 1 or Side 2 key to increment/ 

decrement the QT or DQT number by 5 at a time.
