selected frequencies. Available frequencies are shown below. All
frequencies may be combined for up to 4 simultaneous operating
channels.
Traveling frequencies normally work anywhere in the USA and Canada.
Not all frequencies available in all areas outside the US. Please check
with local regulations.
