another channel, even if the previous broadcast is still in its waiting

 

period.

 

Receiving PTT Broadcasts

 

To receive a broadcast sent on a particular channel, you need to be subscribed

 

to that channel. To subscribe to a channel, see Updating Channel Subscriptions

 

on page 3-15.

 

How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether

calls.
