144/430 MHz FM DUAL BANDER Instruction Manual

CALL CHANNEL

The Call channel can always be selected quickly no

matter what mode the transceiver is in. For instance,

you may use the Call channel as an emergency

channel within your group. In this case, the Call/VFO

scan {page 54} will be useful.

The default frequency stored in the Call channel is

144.000 MHz for the VHF band. The default on the UHF

band is 440.000 MHz or 430.000 MHz depending on the

market versions. The Call channel can be

reprogrammed either as a simplex & repeater or odd-

split channel.

Note: Unlike channels 1 to 200 the call channel cannot be cleared.
