52 3. Making and Answering Calls
You can make:
ⅷ
Code calls – two-way radio calls conducted off the
network and using open channels and codes. In
these calls, anyone using your same channel and
code can hear your conversation.
ⅷ
Private calls – two-way radio calls conducted off the
network and using the wireless phone numbers of
the participants. In these calls, others using the same
channel cannot listen in.
When using Direct Talk mode, the two phones should
be a minimum of six feet apart to maximize
performance and improve transmission range. You can
only make Direct Talk calls to users located within your
range. This varies according to terrain, man-made
structures, and atmospheric conditions.
Most traditional phone features are not available in
Direct Talk mode, including on-network phone calls;
Direct Connect, Group Connect, Talkgroup calls, and
Call Alerts; data services; messaging; call timers; and
call forwarding.
