begin immediately. In conventional mode, this tone may be de

layed after the PTT button is pressed due to GE-STAR signalling
(if enabled through programming).

After being placed in queue or releasing the PTT button prior
to a working channel assignment, the site calls the radio when a

talk; immediately press the PTT button to keep the assigned
channel.
