Frequently Asked Questions
1 Question: If I change my mind and want to exit the
request for Private Call (or I pressed the
Programmable button by mistake), how do I get out of
the “private queue” status?
Answer: Long press the Programmable button. The
radio exits the private queue request and the radio
sounds an end tone, returning you to radio normal
status.
2 Question: What happens if two people (for example user
A and C) press their Programmable button at the same
time to Private Reply or Direct Call User B?
Answer: Pressing the Programmable button only
queues the radio B ID; therefore, there is no issue if two
people press the Programmable button at the same
time. The issue occurs when these two people press the
PTT button at the same time to talk privately to B. Then,
whoever presses the PTT button faster gets to talk
privately to B. The other user hears a “busy” or rejection
tone.
3 Question: What happens if a person Private Reply or
Direct Call User B, but User B does not want to engage
in the Private conversation?
Answer: The nature of the radio communication is to
allow instant communication without the option to
decline radio calls. Therefore, if you are concerned
about users disrupting group communications or
misusing the Private Reply or Direct Call features, make
sure that these features are enabled only on authorized
radio users.
4 Question: I pressed the Private Reply button but nothing
happened (for example, Programmable button and
instead the radio gives out a busy tone.
Answer: It can be due to different causes such as the
Programmable button is disabled or the radio could not
store the radio ID you wanted to reply to (this is if the
Programmable button was pressed outside the four
seconds Group Hang Time).
5 Question: What happens if I want to Private Reply to a
person that just finished talking?
