The channel screen shows the following information:
• the name of the currently selected channel
• the transmit and receive frequencies, if applicable
• a bar graph that indicates the signal strength on receive (green) and the output
power on transmit (red)

Figure 27: Channel screen
If the transmit and receive frequencies are the same, the frequency is only shown on
the right side of the screen. The Rx/Tx indicator shows whether the transceiver is
receiving (green) or transmitting (red). The more bars that are shown, the higher the
signal strength.
Your transceiver may have the option of selecting high, medium, or low power. Hi,
Med, or Lo is shown respectively to the right of the signal strength indicator.
While a call is being established, the transceiver shows that calling activity is in
progress by flashing in place of the scan indicator. Once a call is established, these
indicators are replaced with an icon that represents the type of call being sent or
received.
