Console Ack Required

Causes an additional console acknowledgement response ("console Ack") to be required. When an emergency alarm has been sent (see the Emergency Operation field), the radio always requires an acknowledgement from the Fixed Network Equipment (FNE); this feature requires an additional Ack to be required from the dispatch application. Receiving an FNE Ack assures the radio-user that the radio's current site has received the emergency alarm packet; receiving a console Ack ensures that the dispatch application is displaying the emergency condition to the dispatcher. Once the console Ack is received the radio sounds a four-beep alert tone. This selection applies for the current Trunking Emergency Profile.

When the Emergency Operation field is set to "Alarm Only" or "Alarm & Call", and

when the radio is model / option capable.
