Sending and Receiving PTT Broadcasts
By default, you’re subscribed to Channels 1, 24, and 25. This means that you can send and 
receive PTT broadcasts on Channels 1, 24, and 25.
When you end a PTT broadcast, the channel remains open and enters a waiting period. This 
waiting period gives people who received the broadcast a chance to respond. If no one 
responds within the waiting period, the channel closes.
Sending PTT Broadcasts
Before you can send a PTT broadcast, you need to choose a channel to broadcast on. Or, you 
can hold the Talk soft key to immediately begin broadcasting on Channel 1, the default channel.
You can change your default channel to any channel you want (see Updating the Default Channel). 
When you change the default channel, you’re automatically subscribed to it.
From Lines view, press Talk and hold.
