You can change channels whenever the channel
designator is displayed. Turn the selector wheel knob to
browse through all channels that are available in the
selected channel mode. The channels appear in the
display in the following order:
• Primary channels
• Weather channels (if any)
• Private channels (if any)
To quickly toggle between these 3 channel groups make
a long press and release the selector wheel knob. The
VHF radio toggles between the last selected channels in
the respective groups, i.e. the last selected weather
channel, the last selected private channel or the last selected primary channel.
If there are no channels defined in a group, it is not selected.
