CALL CHANNEL

The Call channel can be used to store any frequency and related data that you will recall often. 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 can always be selected quickly. You may want to dedicate the Call channel as an emergency channel within your group. In this case, the Call/VFO scan {page 48} will be useful.

The default frequency stored in the Call channel is shown below:
