This ID, consisting up to a maximum of eight characters, can be viewed by both the receiving radio and the dispatcher.Your radio’s ID number is also automatically sent every time the PTT button is pressed. This is a per-channel feature. For digital voice transmissions, your radio’s ID is sent continuously during the voice message.Using the Smart PTT Feature (Conventional Only)Smart PTT is a per-personality, programmable feature used in conventional radio systems to keep radio users from talking over other radio conversations.When smart PTT is enabled in your radio, you cannot transmit on an active channel.If you try to transmit on an active smart-PTT channel, you hear an alert tone, and the transmission is inhibited. The LED lights up solid yellow to indicate that the channel is busy.Three variations of smart PTT are available:Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with CarrierYou cannot transmit if any traffic is detected on the channel.Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with Wrong Squelch CodeYou cannot transmit on an active channel with a squelch code or (if secure-equipped) encryption key other than your own. If the PL code is the same as yours, the transmission is not prevented.Quick-Key OverrideThis feature can work in conjunction with either of the two above variations. You can override the transmit-inhibit state by quick-keying the radio. In other words, two PTT button presses within the preprogrammed time limit.
