sub-channel number. - Then press the Up or Down button to select the desired sub-channel for use. - Press the Power On/Oft button momentarily to confirm selection. The CTCSS mode can be turned off by selecting the oF icon as the setting. NOTE: To communicate with other GMRS units, they must be switched to the same channel and CTCSS subcode. To communicate with other GMRS units that do not have subcodes, switch your unit to the same channel with the subcode set to oF.

Dual Watch Mode This feature allows you to monitor two channels at the same time. While in dual watch mode, the unit will continuously monitor both the primary and dual watch channel. Received signals will be played for S seconds, then the unit will resume scanning the two channels. Pressing the PH button during a received transmission will set the unit to transmit on the same channel. Pressing the PH button when no signal is received will set the unit to transmit on the primary channel.
