Using Knob and Button Operations Together
When selected via the button, menu or keypad method, the entered
channel or zone becomes active regardless of the knob position.
When the knob is turned, the radio leaves the keypad selected channel
and goes to the selection indicated by the knob position.
Example: With the channel select knob on channel 1, selecting channel
12 from the keypad will switch the operating channel to channel 12.
Turning the channel knob to channel 2, switches the operating channel
to channel 2.
