confirmation if a call has reached the receiving party, even if
the operator is temporarily away from the transceiver. These
functions also allow the user to determine if another compat-
ible Icom unit is in range, which is useful in convoy situations
where groups may be separated. Smart ring is a manual con-
firmation, while ATS is automatic.
