transmitter ID and receiver ID

transmitter to select the receiver radio's
ID number you want to call, and the
receiver radio only receives the Direct
Call data you select. The Direct Call
data communication is based on the
same Channel and CTCSS code
setting. You cannot establish
communication if the Channel and
CTCSS code for both radios are not the
same.

presses . The radio transmits

result, the receiver will display the
Sender ID number on the display and
