Public Address (PA) System

(Glossary)

HGDefinition.jpg

The Public Address System allows for an Accessory Connector external speaker system. The radio's handheld microphone is the source of audio for the external speaker. DotGreen.png The PA System is enabled and disabled with a DotRed.png Public Address button-press; however, when enabled, the external speaker system is not actually on until the PTT button is pressed.

As long as the PA System is enabled, pressing the PTT will not key up the radio; however, receiving a transmission is possible.

 

If the  DotRed.png Public Address and DotRed.png Siren options are both on at the same time, pressing the PTT button overrides any Siren function. Any Siren tone or incoming radio signals (if in External Radio mode) is abruptly muted to give the Public Address priority operation.
