Receiving Trunked Dispatch Calls

Voice Traffic is heard through the radio's speaker when a dispatch
call is received. Press the PTT to transmit a response and release it to
listen for replies. Voice traffic cannot be received while the PTT is
pressed.
Note: If the radio is set on an announcement group, a bad key chirp
("bonk") will be heard every six seconds. This tone is a warning that talk
group traffic will be missed. You must leave the announcement group to
monitor talk group traffic.

Making Trunked Dispatch Calls

Select the desired talk group
using the rotary and toggle switches.
Press the PTT to talk. If the
LED is lit, you are transmitting
normally (the channel is clear to
use). If a dispatch busy tone is
heard, release the PTT and wait for
a call back tone. When the call back
tone is heard, press the PTT and
transmit normally. If a continuous
talk prohibit tone is heard while the
PTT is pressed, transmission is not
possible. The radio may be out-of-
range or not authorized to access
the trunked system.
When you have finished talking
(transmitting), release the PTT
switch to listen (receive).
