	The '''Q-code''' is a standardized collection of three-letter codes that each start with the letter "Q". It is an operating signal initially developed for commercial [[Morse code\|radiotelegraph]] communication and later adopted by other radio services, especially [[amateur radio]]. To distinguish the use of a Q-code transmitted as a question from the same Q-code transmitted as a statement, it is suffixed with the standard Morse question mark {{overline\|UD}} (dit dit dah dah dit dit).

	Although Q-codes were created when radio used Morse code exclusively, they continue to be employed after the introduction of voice transmissions and are commonly used on CW (Morse code), [[digital]], and, to a lesser extent, [[phone]] modes in amateur radio. To avoid confusion, regulations are in place that prevent [[~~Glossary#call sign\|~~call sign]]s containing Q codes from being issued.

To avoid confusion, regulations are in place that prevent [[call sign]]s containing Q codes from being issued.

	Used in their formal question / answer sense, the meaning of a Q-code varies depending on whether the individual Q-code is sent as a question or an answer. For example, the message "QRP?" means "Shall I decrease transmitter power?", and a reply of "QRP" means "Yes, decrease your transmitter power", whereas an unprompted statement "QRP" means "Please decrease your transmitter power". It is more common, however, for them to be used informally; "QRP" is often used as an adjective meaning "low power," such as in the phrase "QRP transmitter." "QRM" literally means "Do you have interference?" or "I have interference," but is often used as a noun simply referring to interference itself, as in "I have QRM making it hard to hear you."
