Private Call

Post by vk2fmet » Wed Jul 08, 2020 4:05 pm

I have Private Call set to ON
But when a PC comes in, the screen presents a prompt like "Accept Private Call?"
I don't hear anything and unless I then hhit the green button the call is not audible.

I have since set the beep on but I haven't tested it yet.

Is there a way to avoid the prompt anyway? Either let it come thru with beep or just let it come thru without the question?

Yes, Options -> Allow PC -> Off

Nope, turning this setting OFF avoid the confirmation popup (yeah, I agree the option name is not that clear).

I wonder if that should be changed to "Prompt PC" maybe?

We do not have a mechanism to prevent private calls being received.

I agree the "Allow PC" text should be changed to "PC Prompt".

Actually - not quite. I always need 2 key ups. The first one always keys up a group call. Even though the codeplug is set to private call
The second key up then makes a private call.
