Transmit PTT Assignment Examples
Note
Dierent configurations of V60 cables can result in
unassigned PTT buttons and dierent functionality.
Transmit Modes
The V60 has dierent ways of transmitting depending on the
device and cables used. Examples include:
• Push-To-Talk (PTT) (e.g. 2-Way Radio)
• Latching (Mute) (e.g. Intercom System)
• Open Mic (e.g. Intercom System)
• Call Answering (e.g. Mobile Phone)
• Listen Only (e.g. Minesweeper)
Please consult your representative for more information on
your system setup.
PTT Assignment
PTT buttons are dynamically assigned, with a rule of thumb
being PTT1 to COM1 and PTT2 to COM2. Keying two PTT’s
simultaneously is possible. When multi-net radios are
connected the following rules apply:
• Every connected device is allocated at least one
PTT button.
• Priority is COM1 through to COM3 for button allocation
when multi-net radios are connected.
Note
Certain cable and devices when connected will not utilise a
PTT button, for example a listen only cable.
