Page 11: Channel Selection
Channel Selection In order to communicate with other GMRS units, both transmitting and receiving party must be on the same frequency. The GMRS7001-2CH has 22 channels (frequencies) indicated by the large digits on the LCD dis- play panel. Channels 1 through 7 are the shared GMRS/FRS chan- nels. - Page 12 CTCSS Mode (Sub-Channel) Selection The Coded Tone Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) provides 38 Sub-Fre- quencies. This feature allows you to utilize the coded squelch tones (01– 38) within a main channel, and enables you to communicate with another party on the same main channel using the same subcode. (This filters out unwanted transmissions without the same coded squelch tone).
