Q

Q.4.9 How does the stuck microphone alarm work?

A

When the VHF radio detects a microphone is in transmit (keyed) position for longer than 30 seconds, an interrupted side tone is emitted for 5 seconds via the audio selector panel. After a total of 35 seconds, the transmitter and the side tone are turned off. The transmitter is reactivated by releasing and then re-keying the microphone or boom microphone Push-To-Talk switch.
