Transmit Inhibit

This feature allows you to stops all transmission including voice and data. The radio can receive
messages but not able to reply the acknowledgment request of the received message.
This feature is available for APCO 25 trunking, Type II trunking and Conventional operations for all
APX radios.
You can physically control the transmission of the radio especially during operation in hazardous
environments. An environment is considered hazardous if radio transmission could initiate an explosion
or other dangerous reactions.

Description
You cannot transmit if traffic is detected on the
channel.
You cannot transmit on an active channel with a
squelch code or (if secure-equipped) encryption
key other than your own. If the PL code is the
same as yours, the transmission is not prevent-
ed.
Your radio must be preprogrammed to allow
you to use Quick-Key Override. This feature
works with either one of the two above varia-
tions. You can override the transmit-inhibit state
by quick-keying the radio (press PTT button
twice within the preprogrammed time limit).
