5.3.3 RECEIVING A GROUP CALL (GROUP CALL)
1. When you receive notification of a GROUP call, press
any key to cancel the alert. The VHF 7100 automatically
selects the channel designated in the incoming call.
The priority level is always routine, and the group is
identified on the LCD. The group will be one of the
three groups of frequently called people that you set
up earlier (see Section 3.4).
2. You do not need to send an acknowledgement. If desired, press PTT to
initiate voice contact on the designated channel.
The call data is stored in the Call Log (see Section 5.2.7).
