- Dawwar il-pum tas-Swiċċ tal-Kanal biex tagħżel il-kanal mixtieq (1-16).
- Sejħa bil-vuċi tħabbar in-numru tal-kanal magħżul.
- Kun żgur li r-radjijiet kollha maħsuba għall-komunikazzjoni huma ssettjati fuq l-istess kanal.
7.3 Trażmissjoni u Riċeviment (PTT)
- Biex tittrażmetti, agħfas u żomm il-buttuna PTT (Push-to-Talk) fuq il-ġenb tar-radju. L-indikatur LED se jixgħel aħmar.
