Making Group Calls (APCO)

Channels programmed for APCO operation already have a
Group ID assigned. For these channels, you do not need

Otherwise, on K2 and K3 model transceivers, if a key has
been programmed with Talkgroup, you can select a group
ID from the list to make a call to those parties.

Press the Side 2 and Side 3 keys or the <C and D>

normal transmission.
