CALL CHANNEL

Call Channel default settings:

• On K and M market models, pressing [CALL] changes the

transceiver to the Call Channel.

• On E market models, pressing [CALL] causes the

transceiver to transmit a 1750 Hz tone {page 25}.

The Call Channel can be recalled instantly no matter
what frequency the transceiver is operating on. For
instance, you may use the Call Channel as an
emergency channel within your group. In this case, Call
Scan {page 43} will be useful.

The default Call Channel frequency is 144.000 MHz.

Note: Unlike Memory Channels 0 to 199, the Call Channel cannot
be cleared.
