You can select the manual channel by either entering channel 0 from the keypad, or by dialing it in using the
cursor/value knobs. The following illustration depicts a C-5000 with the manual channel for radio 1 selected.

receive frequencies is considered a direct channel. If the transmit and receive frequencies are different, the C-5000
