CONVENTIONAL FEATURES
Monitoring Before Transmitting
General
Regulations require that conventional groups (channels) be
monitored before transmitting to make sure that they are not being
used by someone else. If you were to transmit when someone else is
talking, you would probably disrupt their conversation. In the LTR-
Net and LTR modes, monitoring is performed automatically. In the
conventional mode, it must be performed automatically or manually
as follows.
Automatic Channel Monitoring
If the selected group is programmed for the Transmit Disable
On Busy feature (see page46), monitoring is performed
automatically.
