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

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.
