The Ritron RCCR radio can be programmed with up to 500 Home Channels that are accessed with
the HOME button. Home Channels can be programmed to receive and transmit on any frequency

CTCSS or DCS encoding and decoding, and can have a DTMF or Single-Tone dispatch code
assigned on some models.
The Home Channel programming screen contains a scrolling list of Home Channels 001-500.
