Priority Channel (16/9)

The 16/9 key is used to switch priority channels. When you first turn on the radio, its default priority channel is Ch. 16. To switch priority channels, hold down the 16/9 key for a few seconds until the priority channel switches to the other channel. This is particularly useful when you want to make a non-DSC call and Ch. 16 is receiving a lot of transmission traffic. The 16/9 key also allows you to exit various opera- tion modes, ignore incoming calls and cancel outgoing calls.

With a quick press of the 16/9 key the priority channel immediately is selected with high (25W) transmission power. Press the 16/9 key again and it selects the last used channel.

PTT (Push To Talk)

This key is on the microphone. Press and hold it down to send a trans- mission. There is a 5-minute maximum transmission timer, per FCC regulations.
