Making an individual or group call
You can use your radio to make calls to an individual or a
specific group using Selcall (selective calling).
There are two ways to make an individual or group call:
■ Using a preset call.
■ Dialling a call.

Two preset individual or group calls can be assigned to each
channel that has Selcall. A preset call may be assigned to a
function key.
To make a preset call:
