When a broadcast ends, the broadcast enters a 10 second waiting period (as shown next). During this period, the channel remains open to receive or send additional broadcasts.
During a waiting period, you can press and hold the Talk soft key and talk to all the people listening on the channel. When you finish talking, release the Talk soft key.
