Testing the quality of a channel in a Codan Selcall network
If you want to test the quality of a particular channel/mode in a Codan Selcall network
before you use it to transmit voice or data, you can do so in two ways. You can:
• start making a call then, when prompted to select a channel/mode, test one or more
channel/mode combinations
• make a Channel Test call to test conditions before you make the final call

call.

channel/mode you want to test, then hold CALL.
