LTR FEATURES

Busy Queuing

The LTR busy queuing feature places a telephone call in a queue if 

the radio system is busy when it is placed. Then when the system 
becomes available, the call is automatically placed. Standard (mobile-to-
mobile) calls are not queued by this feature. If queuing is programmed 
and a busy condition is encountered, the queue mode is entered automati-
cally when the PTT switch is released. The queue mode is indicated by 
“IN QUEUE” on the bottom line of the display (see following
illustration). 

When the radio system becomes available, it is automatically 

accessed. A beep then sounds and a dial tone is heard. The call can then 
be placed if desired. The queue mode is exited before the call is placed if 
any of the following occur (exit is indicated when “IN QUEUE” is no 
longer displayed).

The PTT switch is pressed

Any call is received

Any front panel option switch is pressed

Power is turned off

Calls are received normally in the queue mode. However, receiving 

any call causes the mode to be exited as indicated above. Group scanning 
remains enabled while in the queue mode, but system scanning is tempo-
rarily disabled. This feature is enabled on individual LTR systems by 
dealer programming and is then available with all telephone calls on 
those systems.

System Search

If an out-of-range condition exists when attempting an LTR tele-

phone call, the system search feature can be used to automatically search
