Talking And Listening

codes. If you are in a group and you wish to talk to each
other, all radios must be set to the same channel and
interference eliminator code. If you experience
interference and need to change channel, ensure that you
change the channel of all radios in your group.

as described previously. Then press and hold the Push to
Talk (PTT) button. When you are finished talking, release
