D Using "Your Call Sign"

The "Your Call Sign" memory saves individual or
repeater station call signs. When you select the call
sign for the "TO" (Destination) setting, you can make
a Gateway call. When you call an individual station
through a gateway, the signal is automatically sent to
the last repeater that the individual station accessed.
Therefore, even if you do not know where the
individual station is located, you can make a call.
NOTE: If the repeater, set in "FROM" (Access
repeater) has no Gateway call sign, you cannot
make a gateway call.
Example: Selecting "Rick" from "Your Call Sign."
1. Touch "TO" to select, then open the TO SELECT screen.
2. Touch "Your Call Sign."
3. Touch a destination name or call sign.
• Returns to the DR screen, and "Rick" is set in "TO."
