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 dialtone. 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.
Note: When transmitting, remember
to check if the channel is in use as
in conventional dispatch.
