D Transmitting A Test Call - Icom IC-M323 Instruction Manual

D Transmitting a Test call
Testing on the exclusive DSC distress and safety calling chan-
nels should be avoided as much as possible. When testing on
a distress/safety channel is unavoidable, you should indicate
that these are test transmissions.
Normally the test call would require no further communica-
tions between the two stations involved.
Enter "TEST CALL" in the DSC CALLS menu.
