A QT tone/ DQT code is a sub-audible tone/code which allows you toignore (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 openwhen a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signals thatyou transmit will only be heard by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches yourtransceiver.If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same channel you areusing, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. Although it may seemlike you have your own private channel while using QT/ DQT, other parties canstill hear your calls if they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.■ Operator Selectable Tone (OST)If a key has been programmed with Operator Selectable Tone, you canreprogram the QT tone or DQT code on each of your channels.1 Select your desired zone and channel.2 Press and hold the key programmed as Operator Selectable Tone for second.• The (KCH-4) or OST (KCH-5) icon appears on the display when thisfunction is activated.3 Press the GRP and keys, rotate the CH control, or enter the listnumber directly using a DTMF keypad to select your desired tone or codefrom to 40.4 Press the PF 1 or DTMF key to exit OST Selection mode.• OST is activated after selecting a list number and exiting OST Selection mode.After selecting and setting up your desired tone or code, press the OperatorSelectable Tone key to toggle the OST function ON and OFF.
