Check for usable frequencies for your operating area. What is a Simplex Call? A simplex call is a direct call to another station on a single frequency, not using a repeater. Example: Making a simplex call on 445.670 MHz. Step 1: Set "FROM" (Simplex channel) 1. Select the operating band. 2. Hold down CALL DR for 1 second to display the DR screen. 3. Touch "FROM" to select, and then touch "FROM" again. Step 2: Hold down [PTT] to transmit Push TRANSMIT , or hold down the microphone's [PTT] to transmit. TIP: You can change the simplex frequencies on the MENU screen. MENU » DV/DD MEMORY > Repeater List > Simplex 4. Touch "Repeater List." 5. Touch "Simplex." 6. Touch the desired frequency.
