If this feature is disabled, the user will not be allowed to enter ‘SYS’ (System Wide Talkgroup) into the talkgroup list of the corresponding personality. Message TrunkedAfter the initiator de-keys the radio, the voice channel stays active (hangtime) so that other members of the talkgroup can respond on the same channel. If a radio in the talkgroup transmits during another users transmission, he or she will interrupt the original transmission. Transmission TrunkedNo hangtime and no talk-over. When a radio is de-keyed, the channel is immediately de-allocated and reassigned. If a user tries to talk over an active channel, the radio will not key until the channel is clear. PTT-ID PTT-ID systems are similar to message conversation type systems with hangtime and talk-over, but they send an ID code to the controller when PTT is pressed. After transmission of the ID, the radio goes back to the voice channel to talk to the other users. Slow Refers to Rx Slow utilizing the high speed acknowledgments for all channel grants. [Rx=Slow, Tx=Fast] Fast Refers to the elimination of the high speed acknowledgment which improves channel access time. [Rx=Fast, Tx=Fast]
