Sending and Receiving PTT Broadcasts

By default, you are subscribed to Channels 1, 24, and 25. This means that you can send and receive PTT broadcasts on Channels 1, 24, and 25.

When you end a PTT broadcast, the channel remains open and enters a 10 second waiting period. This waiting period gives people who received the broadcast a chance to respond. If no one responds within the waiting period, the channel closes.

Sending PTT Broadcasts
