The Digital Hybrid Wireless system employs a DSP-
generated supersonic tone (pilot tone), using it as a 
kind of signature, so the receiver can mute even strong 
signals that aren’t from the appropriate transmitter. The 
pilot tone also helps to ensure that the receiver is quiet 
when the transmitter is turned on and off.
256 different pilot tones provide reliable operation in 
multi-channel wireless systems. A different tone is 
generated every 100 kHz across the tuning range of 
the system, so that a tone is not repeated until it is 25.6 
MHz above or below the previous one.
No Pre-Emphasis/De-Emphasis
Because the signal to noise ratio of the Digital Hybrid 
Wireless
®
 system is so high, there is no need for con-
ventional pre-emphasis (HF boost) in the transmitter 
and de-emphasis (HF roll off) in the receiver. Thus, the 
potential distortion problems associated with pre-em-
phasis and de-emphasis are eliminated.
Pilot Tone Squelch
The squelch system in a receiver is a method of muting 
the audio when the RF signal conditions are too poor 
to produce usable audio. While not all squelch systems 
work the same way, the goal is always the same: to 
discard noise and unusable audio.
