11 TIME-OUT TIMER

This function restricts the continuous transmission time
(TOT).
This function prevents the user from occupying a repeater
frequency for a long period of time when the repeater is
shared with other users. The transceiver stops
transmitting when it is continuously transmitting longer
than the configured time.
You can configure the Time-out Timer to each Zone. The
operation of this function varies between a Conventional
Group and a Trunking System.
