Sidetones |
(Conventional System, General) |
Selects the type or types of alert tone that sounds while the DTMF or MDC or
Quik-Call II PTT ID is being transmitting.
During PTT ID transmission
the radio's microphone is disabled and therefore voice transmission is
not possible.
Sidetone selections
should be based-on radio-user preference. This feature applies only while operating on the current
Conventional System.
|
For MDC and DTMF, following each radio-user PTT button-press, the radio then transmits the radio's current PTT ID (the CPS-defined Primary ID). |
|
For MDC and DTMF Systems, Sidetones only apply when the PTT-ID field is set to "Leading Edge" or "Both" |
When the System Type field is set to "MDC" and "DTMF":
When the PTT-ID field is set to "Leading Edge" or "Both", and
when the radio is model / option capable.
When the System Type field is set to "Quik-Call II":
when the radio is model / option capable.

DEFINITIONS: |
None |
No sidetones are sounded. |
PTT-ID Sidetone |
Causes the radio to sound an alert tone while the PTT ID is being transmitting; the PTT ID is the Primary ID of the current System. The PTT ID begins transmitting as soon as the PTT button is pressed; therefore the alert tone begins sounding as soon as PTT is pressed, and continues until the PTT ID data has completely transmitted. The tone ceasing is an indication to the radio-user that the microphone is open and voice transmission is now possible. |
PTT-ID Short Sidetone |
Causes the radio to sound one short alert tone immediately after the PTT ID is transmitted; the PTT ID is the Primary ID of the current System. The PTT ID begins transmitting as soon as the PTT button is pressed. This short alert tone sounds as soon as the PTT ID data has completely transmitted. This short tone is an indication to the radio-user that the microphone is open and voice transmission is now possible. |
Both |
Causes the radio to sound both the PTT ID Sidetone and the PTT ID Short Sidetone (see above). |
