STANDARD GROUP CALLS
General
Most calls you make are probably the standard group type described
in this section. These calls are between you and another mobile or control
station. The main difference between these calls and the other types is
that no number needs to be dialed. The following procedure applies to all
three types of operation (LTR-Net, LTR, and conventional).
Placing a Standard Group Call
1. Turn transceiver power on and set the volume as described starting on
page 20. With conventional operation, also make sure that the squelch
is properly set as described on page 49.
2. Select the system and group of the mobile being called as described on
page 21.
3. If a conventional call is being placed, monitor the channel manually or
automatically as described on page 50.
4. Press (and hold) the microphone PTT (push-to-talk) switch to talk and
release it to listen. Operation with LTR-Net, LTR, and conventional
calls is as follows:
LTR-Net and LTR Operation
• If tones are enabled, the proceed tone sounds shortly after the PTT
switch is pressed if the radio system was successfully accessed (see
page 27). If tones are not enabled, no tone sounds when the system
is successfully accessed.
• If the radio system is busy, the busy tone sounds (see page 53) and
“BUSY” is indicated in the display. Additional access attempts
continue as long as the PTT switch is pressed.
