Radio Frequency (RF) Operational Characteristics
To transmit (talk) you must push the Push-To-Talk button; to receive (listen) you must
release the Push-To-Talk button.
When the radio is transmitting, it generates radio frequency (RF)
energy; when it is receiving, or when it is off, it does not generate RF energy.
