transmission, and you hear a talk-prohibit tone.

preprogrammed from 3 to 120 seconds, in 15-second intervals,

radio technician.

time. You hear a short, low-pitched warning tone, the
transmission is cut-off, and the LEDs goes out until you
release the PTT button.
2 Release the PTT button. The LEDs relight and the timer
resets.
