incoming call by pressing your Press-to-Talk button
before the Talkback timer expires. Your call will go
out only to the most recent listen group you heard.

transmit to the talk group for your active profile.
4.) . . . If you repeatedly exceed the talkback time
limit, consider asking the network administrator to
extend the time allowed.
