MDC RTT (Request-To-Talk) Button Access

(Conventional Personality, Non-ASTRO Call)

HGDefinitionMob%26Port.jpg

Selects the Request-To-Talk (RTT) mode for the current Conventional Personality. When enabled with either the "Manual" (the MDC DotRed.png Request-To-Talk button-press or DotRed.png Request-to-Talk menu-selection) or the "Auto" (PTT button) selections, the radio sends an RTT signaling packet to the dispatcher requesting the ability to transmit voice on the channel. The radio's microphone then immediately keys-up for 2 to 3 seconds allowing the radio-user time to pick up the microphone and begin a voice transmission. From this point, the radio has "normal" voice access to this channel. DotGreen.png This feature allows the dispatcher to manage channel traffic for voice communications. This feature applies while operating in MDC System mode and on the current Conventional Personality.
