How can you pause an ATIS while recording?

Explanation:
Pausing the ATIS input is controlled by the transmit switch. The push-to-talk control is what keys the microphone for transmission. When you press and hold it, your voice is transmitted and the ATIS input continues. Releasing the push-to-talk switch stops transmitting, so your part of the recording is paused without turning off the radio or muting permanently. This is the standard way to temporarily suspend your input while you’re recording or preparing your next message.
