CALL WAITING DIRECTORY
The DSC Call Waiting directory logs 10 received distress calls, and logs 20
individual calls that are received and not answered within 5 minutes or while
the radio is set on the DSC Standby function. Calls will be logged while busy
with other communications as long as the transmitter is not keyed at the time
of the call. If the call is answered within 5 minutes the call will not be logged.
When a call is logged, a message will appear on the LCD.
NOTE
When a DISTRESS CALL is received, this call will be logged on the
distress call waiting directory.
