Saving a Found Channel (Quick Save)

If you hold on a channel or receive a desired channel, you can save it by pressing [EYES] instead of using Direct Entry. The alpha data is also stored.

If a GPS unit is attached, the longitude and latitude data is saved and becomes the name of that channel. For example, if the position is 32°57’33.60 N latitude and 97°05’34.18 W longitude, the name saved is 3257.33-09705.34.
