Send a PTT broadcast

You can send PTT broadcasts over your default PTT channel, or over a different channel. For example, you
may want to send a broadcast over an active PTT session that is on a different channel than your default
channel.
When you're done speaking and release the PTT button, the phone enters a ten-second wait period. During
this time, the channel is open to receive or send more broadcasts. If no activity occurs within the wait period,
the PTT session closes. The wait period keeps the channel open and gives anyone subscribed to that channel
time to join the conversation.
Before you begin
