Periodic Update Timer

Selects the amount of time that determines how often (in minutes) the radio sends out an unsolicited and no-confirmation-required Personnel Accountability (PA) packet to the Incident Command Terminal (ICT). This is only true once a successful PA Registration has already occurred. If the PA Registration attempt has failed, this timer is then used to determine how often (in minutes) that the radio will retry PA Registration. This feature applies on a radio-wide basis to Personnel Accountability-enabled channels.

When the radio is operating on a Conventional Personality where both the Incident Signaling Type field is set to "Personnel Accountability" and the Personnel Accountability Registration field is enabled.

When the radio is model / option capable.
