User Function: Select Memory Channel and Band
Selects a specific remote base radio and memory channel.
• The RBI-1 supports four bands: 144, 222, 440, and 1200.
• Memory channels range from 1 to the maximum number available in the selected
radio.
• If the remote base radio was powered off, this command turns it on and enables
the receiver.
• The remote base radio transmitter is disabled when this command is entered. To
enable the transmitter, see the User Function: Enable/Disable Transmitter
command.
• The CTCSS encoder and decoder frequency and enable/disable are set in the
memory channel of the radio. If not set in the radio, they can be controlled by User
Function commands.
• Note: this command only works on some of the radios that can be connected to
the RBI-1. See the RBI-1 manual for details.
