the necessary signaling required to obtain a communication channel.
If the radio is out of range or the radio is operative when the signaling is unsuccessful, a NO SRVC message is displayed and a sequence of five beeps are heard at the speaker. Any subsequent attempt to initiate a call within the next 20 seconds will be ignored.
If all available repeaters are busy when the call is attempted, one long beep is heard and BUSY is displayed. The call will not be retried automatically.
NOTE
If the “Call Retry” option is active, the radio will display RETRYNG and try the channel at twenty second intervals for five minutes before returning to the normal System/Group display.
