A QT tone/ DQT code is asub-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, squelchwill only open when a call containing a matching tone or code isreceived. Likewise, signals that you transmit will only be heardby parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches your transceiver.If a call containing a different tone or code is made on thesame channel you are using, squelch will not open and youwill not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not hear)these calls.
