Digital Ptt Id Support; Smart Ptt Feature (Conventional Only) - Motorola APX 6000 User Manual

Digital PTT ID Support

This feature allows you to see the radio ID (number)
of the radio from whom you are currently receiving a
transmission. This ID, consisting up to a maximum of
eight characters, can be viewed by both the receiving
radio and the dispatcher.
Your radio's ID number is also automatically sent
every time the PTT button is pressed. This is a per-
channel feature. For digital voice transmissions, your
radio's ID is sent continuously during the voice
message.

Smart PTT Feature (Conventional Only)

Smart PTT is a per-personality, programmable
feature used in conventional radio systems to keep
radio users from talking over other radio
conversations.
When smart PTT is enabled in your radio, you cannot
transmit on an active channel.
If you try to transmit on an active smart-PTT channel,
you hear an alert tone, and the transmission is
inhibited. The LED lights up solid yellow to indicate
that the channel is busy.
