Normal Mode
In Normal mode, users can have up to 5 BeltStati ons (per MasterBelt). All BeltStati ons in this mode are in the standard
operati ng mode, giving the user control of the channels on which they operate and dual listen/talk functi onality at any
given ti me.

number of BeltStati ons to listen, but only 5 shared BeltStati ons can talk (in momentary mode) at any given ti me; however,
they can control the channels in which they operate.

talk paths may be used at any given ti me.
