Channel Selection

In order to communicate with other GMRS/FRS units, both the transmit- ting and receiving party must be on the same frequency.

The GMRS122CH has 22 channels (frequencies) indicated by the large digits on the LCD display panel. Channels 1 through 7 are the shared GMRS/FRS channels. Channels 8-14 are FRS only channels, while chan- nels 15-22 are assigned GMRS only channels. If an FRS only channel (8-

14)has been selected, the HI or LO icon will not be displayed on the LCD panel; otherwise, for channels 1-7 (GMRS/FRS) and 15-22 (GMRS only) the HI or LO icon will be displayed. Communication with Audiovox GMRS/ FRS and compatible units is possible on these 22 channels. Before trans- mitting on the selected channel, press the Monitor (M) Button (2) to check the activity on that channel. If there is activity on the selected channel,

change to another channel that is clear.
