Page 12: Channel Selection
Channel Selection In order to communicate with other GMRS units, both transmitting and receiving party must be on the same frequency. The GMRS9010CH has 22 channels (frequencies) indicated by the large digits on the LCD display panel. Channels 1 through 7 are the shared GMRS/FRS channels. - Page 13 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).
