A Private Call is a call from one individual radio to another.
The one-to-one call between the two radios are not heard by the others in the current talkgroup. The
calling radio automatically verifies that the receiving radio is active on the system and can display the
caller ID.

receiving radio, the calling radio exits the call with Menu Inactive Exit tone after the timer
expires.
