on a digital channel.

PL Defeat position.
One of the following scenarios occurs:
• You hear any activity on the channel.
• The radio is muted if no activity is present.

Digital PTT ID Support
This feature allows you to see the radio ID (number)
of the radio from whom you are currently receiving a
transmission. This ID, consisting up to a maximum of
eight characters, can be viewed by both the receiving
radio and the dispatcher.
The ID number of your radio is also automatically sent
every time the
PTT button is pressed. This is a per-
channel feature. For digital voice transmissions, the
ID of your radio is sent continuously during the voice
message.
Smart PTT Feature (Conventional Only)

feature used in conventional radio systems to keep
radio users from talking over other radio
conversations.
