PTT-ID Transmit
The PTT-ID transmit feature is a per channel feature where your radio's ID
number is automatically sent every time the PTT Switch is pressed. Depending
upon how your radio was programmed, your radio's ID can be transmitted at
the beginning of a transmission, at the end of a transmission, or at the
beginning and ending of a transmission. For digital voice transmissions, your
radio's ID is sent during the voice message.
If your radio has MDC-1200™ signalling and the ID is sent before the voice
transmission, you will hear a tone until the ID transmission is completed; this
helps you avoid talking while the ID code is being transmitted.
