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.
Your radio must be programmed to allow you to use this feature.
Procedure:
While on the required channel:
1Press the programmed Transmit Interrupt Remote Dekey
button.
2The display shows Remote Dekey.
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.
On the interrupted radio, the display shows

Call Interrupted

and your 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.
