Saving a VHF Channel as a Preset

You can save the VHF channels you use most often to four configurable slots on the VHF screen.

  1. Tune the radio to a VHF channel you want to save as a preset.
  2. Hold a slot 1 to save the current channel to that slot.

  3. Select Set.

    If there was already a channel saved to the slot, the new channel overwrites the old one.

You can touch the slot to tune to the preset channel.

A green dot appears on the top right corner of the preset button if there has been activity on that channel in the last three minutes.

NOTE: You can use the Presets watch mode to monitor all your presets at the same time (Watch Modes).
