Hi Tom.

I don't have experience with that specific model, but I did have a Standard
C528 dual band handheld, and it did have a transmit inhibit that was
enabled by holding down the Function key and pressing a "1" on the
keypad.  I don't know how much of their command set they borrowed from one
model to the next.  That probably isn't much help.  I think that Vertech
bought out Standard, so you might be able to get the answer from them.
