Stopping a Radio Call

This feature allows you to stop an ongoing Group or Private Call

to free the channel for transmission. For example, when a radio

experiences a “stuck microphone” condition where the PTT

button is inadvertently pressed by the user.

Your radio must be programmed to allow you to use this

feature.

Procedure:

While on the required channel:

1 Press the programmed Transmit Interrupt Remote Dekey

button.

2 The display shows Remote Dekey.

3 Wait for acknowledgment.

4 The radio sounds a positive indicator tone and the display

shows Remote Dekey Success, indicating that the channel

is now free.

The radio sounds a negative indicator tone and the display

shows Remote Dekey Failed.

On the interrupted radio, the display shows

Call Interrupted

and your radio sounds a negative indicator tone until you

release the PTT button, if it is transmitting an interruptible call

that is stopped via this feature.
