Digital Ptt Id Support; Smart Ptt Feature (Conventional Only) - Motorola 3 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.
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)

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.
The following table shows the variations of smart
PTT:
Mode Description
Transmit Inhibit You cannot transmit if any traffic
on Busy is detected on the channel.
Channel with
Carrier
Transmit Inhibit You cannot transmit on an active
on Busy channel with a squelch code or (if
Channel with secure-equipped) encryption key
Wrong Squelch other than your own. If the PL
Code code is the same as yours, the
transmission is not prevented.
Quick-Key Your radio must be
Override preprogrammed to allow you to
use Quick-Key Override. This
feature can work in conjunction
with either of the two above
variations. You can override the
transmit-inhibit state by quick-
keying the radio. In other words,
two PTT button presses within
the preprogrammed time limit.
