Stopping a Radio Call
This feature allows you to stop an ongoing Group or Private Call to free the channel for transmission. For example, when a radio experiences a "stuck microphone" condition where the PTT button is inadvertently pressed by the user.

While on the required channel:
1Press the programmed Transmit Interrupt Remote Dekey button.

3Wait for acknowledgment.
4The radio sounds a positive indicator tone and the display shows Remote Dekey Success, indicating that the channel is now free.
OR
The radio sounds a negative indicator tone and the display shows Remote Dekey Failed.
The display shows Call Interrupted, and the radio sounds a negative indicator tone until you release the PTT button, if it is transmitting an interruptible call that is stopped via this feature.
