Private Call

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?

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

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

Or "Filter PC"

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.

Umm
OK.
I'll check that.
