How to Transmit and
Receive on a TMR
• Select the desired talk group on the radio.
• Listen for ongoing conversations; if the channel becomes clear,
proceed with your call.
• Lift the mic, press and hold the PTT button to transmit and wait for
the “Talk Permit” tone.
• If you hear three quick tones (go ahead tones), proceed with your
message. Remember keep the microphone 1-2” from your mouth.
• If you hear a busy tone all trunked channels are in use.
• Release the PTT button and wait for the three quick tones. Within
three seconds of hearing these tones, press and hold the PTT button
to transmit your message.
• Release the PTT button to receive (listen).
• If another user is transmitting on the talkgroup and you attempt to
transmit, you will be alerted by a “bonk.” Simply wait until the user
has completed their message and proceed with yours.
