Special Radio Features
 
PTT-ID Receive
 
The PTT-ID receive feature allows you to see the radio ID number of the radio 
you are currently receiving. This ID can be a maximum of eight characters and 
can be viewed by both the receiving radio and the dispatcher. On trunking 
radios, pressing 
 
<
 
 or 
 
>
 
 will replace the displayed ID with the softkey menu 
selections; pressing 
 
O
 
 will bring back the ID display.
 
PTT-ID Transmit
 
The PTT-ID transmit feature is a per channel feature where your radio’s ID 
number is automatically sent every time the
 
 PTT Switch
 
 is pressed. Depending 
upon how your radio was programmed, your radio’s ID can be transmitted at 
the beginning of a transmission, at the end of a transmission, or at the 
beginning and ending of a transmission. For digital voice transmissions, your 
radio’s ID is sent during the voice message.
If your radio has MDC-1200™ signalling and the ID is sent before the voice 
transmission, you will hear a tone until the ID transmission is completed; this 
helps you avoid talking while the ID code is being transmitted.
