Using Group Mode
Talking on Your Radio
USING THE RADIO
Group mode lets you make direct calls to other
people in your group without alerting the entire
group and also lets you quickly change everyone in
your group to another channel from a single radio.
Before using group mode, follow the instructions in
"Setting Up Group Mode" on every radio in your
group. Then, to record the unit ID and everyone’s
nickname in every radio, send a call to "All" from
each radio one time (see "Sending a Direct Call").
Note: In group mode, you cannot receive
transmissions from other radios unless they are
also set to the same channel and group code.
