Using the radio in different 
repeater areas
Your radio may have a group of channels programmed 
as a voting group. The channels in the voting group all 
carry the same traffic, but from different repeaters. 
As
 your radio moves in and out of different repeater 
coverage areas, the best communication channel is 
automatically selected for you
 to use.
This channel is known as the ‘home’ channel, and may 
be the channel you make and receive calls on. 
While voting is active, the amber LED glows and   
appears in the display.
