Home Channel Selection
HOME
The HOME button is used in conjunction with the numeric keypad to select up to 500 HOME channels.
Each HOME channel can be custom programmed for:
• Transmit frequency and bandwidth
• Receive frequency and bandwidth
• CTCSS or DCS encode and/or decode
• DTMF or Single-Tone dispatch code
• 7-character alphanumeric description
A HOME channel is selected by pressing the HOME button and then entering a 1, 2 or 3-digit HOME
channel number using the numeric keypad. Once entered, the transmit and receive channels will be
displayed in the areas designated “―TX―” and “―RX―”. The HOME channel number will be
displayed in the area designated “―HOME―” unless an alphanumeric description has been
assigned, in which case the description will be appear on the top row across the entire width of the
display. If an invalid HOME channel entry is attempted “INVALID” will momentarily show across the
top of the display and no changes will be made.
The following example illustrates a HOME channel number 124 programmed for AAR channel 12
