Understanding Frequencies
and Codes
Frequencies:
Your radio operates on a group of frequencies
(see page 10 for complete listing). You
access frequency(ies) through radio chan-
nel(s).You can operate on any of your radio’s
frequencies, but each must be licensed
through the FCC (see page 2).
To understand the difference between fre-
quencies and channels, think of channels as
pre-set buttons on your car stereo and the
frequencies as the many radio stations avail-
able. You can select and save different sta-
tions (frequencies) to pre-set buttons
(channels) for easy access.
Interference Eliminator Codes:
Codes filter out static, noise and unwanted
chatter on radio channels (see page 11 for
complete listing).When you operate on a fre-
quency with a code set, you block out most
interference on the frequency.This allows you
to communicate with less interference than
when operating without a code. Remember,
since radio frequencies can be monitored,
codeswillnotmakeyourconversationsprivate.
• For compatibility with radios that do not
have codes, the radio can be set to Code
“Off" in the programming mode. See fol-
lowing instructions.

confirm settings or to change them for licens-
