Group Feature
This is the main screen you will always see when your application opens. Here you can choose from the many voice chat groups available. If you have paid for personal private channel programming those groups will appear on the public social channels. By default, you are entered into social CH1 or your private CH group when opening the application. Just click on a different channel and you will enter the new group and a prompt will let you know you’re on the new channel.
Once you’re on your desired group channel you will see a list of members.
Blue members are currently active in the group chat
Orange Members are active in our groups
Grey Members are currently offline from the group network
Push to Talk
Let the conversations begin. Introduce yourself by pressing and holding down the blue PTT button found
at the center bottom of the application, once you press the button wait 3 seconds before speaking and
then you have up to 60 seconds (some channels 30 seconds) to voice your conversation.
After you are done speaking release the PTT button and listen to the conversation, when it is your turn to speak press and hold the PTT button and speak. It is that simple.
Key takeaway: If someone else is speaking you will not be able to talk over them, they must finish their transmission before you can speak, crowded channels may be harder to speak in so you may consider trying a different channel.
Example of someone else speaking:

Radio functionality tips.
Features and tips:
Poor and no signal issues:
Note: When in a weak signal environment and with poor call quality, you can choose power save mode or normal mode. The call quality will be improved, but the machine also consumes more power.

If there is no button operation within the set time, the radio will automatically shut down the screen.
Transmit prompt sound:
After enabling this function, press and release the PTT key will emit a "beep" prompt sound, which will improve the call experience. When this function is turned off, pressing the
PTT key will result in no prompt sound.
