Call Function
Press [CALL] on the microphone. A three second ringing tone will
betransmitted.Youmayselectfrom5typesoftones(seep.18for
“Selecting the Call tone”).
NOTE
Current regulations require calling tones to be restricted to
one transmission per minute. If a second transmission is
attempted within one minute then an error tone will sound.
Using Repeater Channels
UHF CB Repeaters are used to retransmit or relay your signal. Repeaters
will extend the range of your radio and overcome the shielding effect caused
by solid obstructions. In normal Simplex operation, your radio transmits on
one particular frequency and receives on that same frequency.
If there is a barrier that partially blocks your transmitted signal, the
probability of another radio receiving the signal is very slim. Hills, tall
buildings, metallic structures,...etc tend to act as a screen between radios.
