Channel Selection

In order to communicate with other GMRS units, both transmitting and receiving party must be on the same frequency. The GMRS7001-2 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 channels 15-22 are as- signed GMRS only channels. If an FRS only channel (8-14) has been selected, the HI or LO indicator will not be displayed on the LCD panel; otherwise, for channels 1-7 (GMRS/FRS) and 15-22 (GMRS only), the HI or LO indicator will be displayed. Communication with Audiovox FRS and compatible units is possible on the shared and FRS only channels. Before transmitting 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.
