Re: pl codes
Assuming their radios are set up to use PL on receive, they won't hear you.Screwed wrote:if i key up the csq radio the others wont hear it even though im breaking the channel
It wouldn't make a lot of sense in a wide-scale deployment, but it's possible that their radios are set up to only TX a PL, but not to require one on RX. (i.e., CSQ on RX, PL on TX.) I've programmed a few this way (when interference wasn't a big issue) so that the occasional idiot keying up without his PL set right would still come through.
Just in case you're thinking of this 'backwards' from how we are: you're not absolutely 'hidden' by not using a PL. Someone could use their monitor button to hear you anyway, hear you on a scanner, or you could double with someone (although it would probably be hard to hear you).
