PTT-ID
Stat-Alert PTT-ID is a per-mode feature describing
an identification code transmission that is tied to the
PTT switch. The ID code is automatically sent every
time a voice transmission occurs (that is, the PTT
switch is pressed). When PTT-ID comes before the
voice transmission, you will hear a tone until the ID
transmission is completed; this helps you avoid
talking while the ID code is being transmitted. This
tone can be disabled on a per-radio basis. Also, the
ID code transmission can be programmed to follow
the voice transmission.
RADIO CHECK
This feature allows the dispatcher to determine if a
radio unit is on the air without disturbing the radio
operator. This is a useful tool for the radio
dispatcher to use for routine maintenance checks,
or if there is reason to doubt the availability of a
radio unit. When the dispatcher "checks" for the
radio, the radio receives the command and
automatically acknowledges it. The transmit (red)
LED lights when the radio sends the
acknowledgement.
