GENERAL INFORMATION
ON THE QUICK TALK
TM
VOICE NOTIFICATION TRANSMITTER
QUICK TALK MODELS AND FREQUENCIES
There are two Quick Talk models, one for each of the most
popular professional radio communications bands. Each
unit is labeled for model number on the Quick Talk cover,
and again inside the case.
MODEL BAND FREQUENCY RANGE
RQT-150 VHF-FM 150 to 165 MHz
RQT-450 UHF-FM 450 to 470 MHz
Ritron manufactures mobile, portable and base station two-
way radios and repeaters which can be used with Quick
Talk. Ritron pioneered the use of Color Dots on radios to
identify frequencies.
Factory-programmed, default Quick Talk frequencies are:
Blue Dot = 154.570 MHz for VHF units;
Blue Star = 467.925 MHz for UHF units.
For instructions on changing Quick Talk transmit frequency
to match an existing radio system, see page 7.
The Quick Talk
TM
is a radio transmitter that reports
changes in the status of switches by transmitting user-
recorded voice messages to two-way mobile, portable or
base station radios. Quick Talk transmits your voice
message when switch changes occur, and at also
intervals you select.
Because you provide and connect the switches, your
Quick Talk units can report on the status of intrusion,
tampering, equipment malfunction, liquid levels, machin-
ery, pressure, temperature, power, smoke or leakage.
The Quick Talk is easily programmed to transmit on either
an existing or a new radio frequency, with the most popular
sub-audible coded squelch formats, such as Quiet Call®
or Digital Quiet Call
TM
. This enables all your personnel
with JOBCOM®, PATRIOT®, or equivalent two-way radios
to hear the voice messages instantly, and to be advised of
current conditions for each monitored location or device.
Quick Talk is housed in a weather-resistant enclosure, so
it can be installed in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor
locations. Because its six internal AA Alkaline batteries
will power the unit for about a year, Quick Talk does not
require AC line power.
