Digital channels: the radio continually sends
emergency alerts to the dispatcher until a
response is received. Details of your location
may also be sent (if this feature is available for
your radio).

the dispatcher can hear what is happening in
the vicinity of your radio.
(Non-stealth emergencies end once this phase
is complete or when you end emergency
mode.)
Stealth emergencies only: The radio is
inactive, but it can receive special ‘messages’

(Stealth emergencies end once this phase is
complete or when you end emergency mode.)
