A button on the control head or KMM can be programmed to toggle talkaround enable/disabled. See
Section 6.4 for the various options that can be programmed to the control head buttons.
If the talkaround Indication feature is enabled using RPM2, the radio plays a unique grant tone when a call
is placed on a simplex channel or when talkaround has been enabled on a duplex channel. This feature
applies to both Analog and P25 Conventional systems. It optionally allows the radio to also play the same
tone when it receives a call while operating in simplex or talkaround. If configured, the radio plays the
tone at the selected volume level.
The tone will not play on systems configured with MDC.
Talkaround Indication can be specified for each individual Analog and P25 Conventional system configured
in the personality. The following options can be selected, and apply only when the radio is on a simplex
channel or when talkaround has been enabled by the user:
• Disabled: (This is the default option.) When this option is selected, the radio plays the standard grant
tone when a call is placed. The radio does not play a tone when a call is received.
• Transmit Only: When this option is selected, the radio plays a different “talkaround” grant tone when
a call is placed. The radio does not play a tone when a call is received.
• Transmit and Receive: When this option is selected, the radio plays a different “talkaround” grant tone
when a call is placed, and at the beginning of a received call.
In the radio personality, the “Alert Tone” parameter needs to be enabled for each channel
on the Conventional Frequency Set. The “Ready to Talk Tone” parameter must also be
enabled for the Talk Around Indication tone to be played when the radio is keyed.
