ime-Out Timer (TOT)
RSS LOCATION
DEFINITION Limits the time allowed for any continuous transmission. When time limit is
reached, the radio dekeys and a constant tone is heard until PTT is released.
DEFAULT/CHOICES Default: 60 seconds
Choices: ■ Off ■ 1-255 seconds
Increments: 1 second - scroll or direct-entry
Off To turn TOT off, type in a 3-digit value, such as “OFF” or “000”.
(One zero followed by pressing the space bar two time will also
work. A single zero (0) will not work. Two zeros will not work.)
1 - 255 Specify TOT time in seconds, ranging from one second to 255 sec-
onds.
RECOMMENDATIONS Set for 60 seconds. Should be used when you want to limit the amount of time one
person can continuously talk. This eliminates accidentally tying up the channel. If
you do not wish to limit the amount of time one person can continuously talk, set
value to be a very large time (255 seconds). Only when it is absolutely needed
should you choose OFF.
Time-Out Timer is useful to eliminate stuck mics and other channel abuse.
IMPORTANT NOTE Rx operation is not affected.
