Using the 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.
Three variations of smart PTT are available:
Mode
Transmit Inhibit on You cannot transmit if any traffic is
Busy Channel with detected on the channel.
Carrier
Transmit Inhibit on You cannot transmit on an active channel
Busy Channel with with a squelch code or (if secure-
Wrong Squelch equipped) encryption key other than your
Code own. If the PL code is the same as yours,
the transmission is not prevented.
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.
