Conventional Operation

Making Conventional Dispatch Calls

Select a conventional channel using
the toggle and rotary select switches.
Press the PTT to talk. If the red LED
is lit, you are transmitting normally (the
channel is clear to use). If you hear
someone else talking while the PTT is
held, the channel is in use. Release the
PTT and try your call again later.
When you have finished talking
(transmitting) release the PTT switch to
listen (receive).
Note: When transmitting, remember to check if the channel is in use
18
as in conventional dispatch.

Making Conventional Telephone Calls

Select a conventional channel
using the toggle and rotary select
switches.
Press and hold the PTT and dial
the telephone MRTI access code.
Release the PTT and listen for a dial
tone. Press and hold the PTT while
dialing the desired telephone number
using the keypad. If the telephoned
party responds, transmit normally. To
hang up, press and hold the PTT while
dialing the MRTI deaccess code.
The telephoned party should be
informed that the caller is using a radio
and that replies should be made only
after the radio party has finished
transmitting. The telephoned party will
hear a "chirp" tone when the radio party
has finished transmitting and is ready to
listen for a reply. Otherwise, the
telephoned party may attempt to speak
while the radio party is transmitting, and
the resulting confusion will severely
restrict communication.
