Smart PTT (Conventional Only)
Smart PTT is a per-personality, programmable feature used to keep radio users from talking over
other radio conversations. When Smart PTT is enabled in your radio, you cannot transmit on an active
channel.
The following table shows the variations of Smart PTT.
Mode
Description
Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with Carrier
You cannot transmit if traffic is detected on the
channel.
Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with Wrong
Squelch Code
You cannot transmit on an active channel with a
squelch code or (if secure-equipped) encryption
key other than your own. If the PL code is the
same as yours, the transmission is not prevent-
ed.
Quick-Key Override
Your radio must be preprogrammed to allow
you to use Quick-Key Override. This feature
works with either one of the two above varia-
tions. You can override the transmit-inhibit state
by quick-keying the radio (press
PTT
button
twice within the preprogrammed time limit).
