 How to Place a Talkback Call
With your radio in Talkback Scanning mode, you can
respond to voice calls from listen groups in your active
profile.
You can’t initiate outgoing voice calls to just any listen
group, but you can immediately respond to any
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.
1.) Set your radio to Talkback Scanning mode.
2.) When you hear an incoming listen group call you
want to respond to, press the Push-to-Talk button.
3.) . . . If you respond before the expiration of the
talkback timer, your call will transmit as a voice
call to the most recent listen group you heard.
4.) . . . If you fail to beat the timer, your call will
transmit to the talk group for your active profile.
5.) . . . If you repeatedly exceed the talkback time
limit, consider asking the network administrator to
extend the time allowed.
