When the radio receives a DSC call, it sounds the alert tone for 2
minutes and displays the priority level and the calling MMSI (or
buddy name).

the channel requested, or

(after acknowledgment).
5. Press the RE-ACK softkey to send the acknowledgement at any time.
6. The caller should respond to your acknowledgement by making
