Saving a Found Channel (Quick Save)

Press [EYES] to save a channel’s frequency if you hold on a channel or detect a channel, instead of using Direct Entry at another time. The alpha data is also stored. If a GPS unit is attached, the longitude and latitude data is saved and also becomes the name of the 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.
