IIRC the Quantar radio was developed later than 1991, but the grey cells have been known to get confused.
The Quantar radio can be programmed to do many things with the proper hardware. A stock Quantar does not respond to any commands other than wireline tone remote sequences. Over the air control by DTMF or other signalling requires additional hardware.

Hello Group, Getting ready to take my Quantar VHF rpt. to Motorola shop Monday to be programmed. I have a few questions, so I do not sound so ignorant to the tech doing the programming. In RSS, is there a setting that will send an alert if the AC power to rpt. was interrupted and restored. (Perhaps a CW phrase?). Is the machine capable of DTMF commands for "Transmitter Knockdown"? Can the squelch be "Loosened or Tightened" via DTMF control? (I am going to use encode/decode "PL", but would be a nice feature!) The rpt. will be programmed single channel 25 kc split, conventional analog NOW, and in 2013, be reprogrammed to 12.5 kc "Narrow Band. Is it possible to program a second channel for narrow band, (same fx as wide band), and using DTMF control to switch channels, so I do not have to take rpt. back to shop and shell out $100 or so ! This 1991 rpt. is all new to me....my other one is an MSR 2000 (Has not let me down is 16 years!) Tim Hardy W7TRH / AFA0TP Vashon Is. Wa.
