MCW OR VOICE IDENTIFICATION ANNOUNCEMENTS OR OTHER CANNED MESSAGES.  YOU
HEAR A USERS VOICE, OR YOU HEAR NOTHING.  YOU CAN SEE SOMETHING, HOWEVER.
WHENEVER YOU RECEIVE A SIGNAL, YOU SEE THE TRANSMITTING STATIONS CALL SIGN
ON YOUR RADIO DISPLAY.  YOU MIGHT ALSO SEE A SHORT TEXT MESSAGE, SUCH AS
HELLO FROM GARY.  AND S METERS STILL WORK.  WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS TALKING
YOU CAN SEE HOW STRONG THE REPEATER IS, EVEN IF YOUR EARS ARENT GIVING YOU
ANY OF THE USUAL CLUES.  OTHERWISE, ROUTINE OPERATION ON A LOCAL REPEATER
IS, WELL, ROUTINE.  YOU PUSH TO TALK AND RELEASE TO LISTEN.  ONE EXCEPTION
YOU HAVE TO PROGRAM YOUR CALL SIGN INTO THE RADIO BEFORE YOU CAN TALK
THROUGH A REPEATER.  YOU DO THAT WITH THE FRONT PANEL BUTTONS AND MENUS.
