CALL CHANNEL
The Call channel can be used to store any frequency and
related data that you want to recall frequently. The Call
channel can be programmed with a simplex or split
frequency as well as related data that can be stored in the
memory channels. No matter what mode the transceiver is
in, the Call channel always can be selected quickly. You
may want to dedicate the Call channel as an emergency
channel within your group. In this case, the CallA/FO scan
{page 35} will be useful.
The default frequency stored in the Call channel is shown
below.
