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.
The ID number of your radio is also automatically sent
every time the PTT button is pressed. This is a per-channel
feature. For digital voice transmissions, the ID of your radio
is sent continuously during the voice message.
Smart PTT Feature (Conventional Only)

talking over other radio conversations.
When smart PTT is enabled in your radio, you cannot
transmit on an active channel.
