If enabled via the programming software, this feature can prevent your mobile radio
interfering with other transmitting terminals on the same channel. If you hold down the
PTT key while the channel is in use, your mobile radio will keep beeping and display text
information “Channel Busy”, alerting you to transmission prohibition. To stop beeping,
please release the PTT key. When the channel is free, you can press and hold down the
PTT key to transmit.
