There is a 5 minute limit for continuous transmission.
After 5 minutes the unit goes into a PTT error condition;
the timeout tone sounds, TX displays, and the channel
indicators blink.
Boosting the transmission power
In most situations, 1W transmission power is all you need.
If you find yourself far away from other stations and have
trouble getting a response, you may need to boost the
transmission power from 1W to 2.5W or 6W.
