Call Tone Transmission
If you want to contact someone in your
party, press the call/vox button. ”CALL”
and the transmit icon appear on the LCD
for 2 seconds. Anyone on the same channel
and the same CTCSS code will be alerted
with your Call Tone.
Monitoring Weather Channels
Your radio has 7 preprogrammed weather channel frequencies, represented by numbers 1-7.

active channel. It stays on the channel
until its transmission ends, and resumes
scanning after a 2 second delay.
3. To exit from this weather channel mode, press the wx/ctcss button again.
The call/vox, on/off volume, PTT, MON, and light/lock buttons will
not be locked.
