The manufacturer has pre-programmed Your AE 5090 XL for some commonly used
channels:
• Channel 1 recommended call channel on FM
•
Channel 4 recommended as call channel for AM
• Channel 9 international calling and emergency channel
In Germany particularly this Channel 9 (in AM) is also used by all truck drivers. This
means: a large number of stations are listening in. In case of an emergency (e.g. in
case of accident etc.) there is a good chance that someone will be listening on Ch 9.
To call other stations, whom You know are listening in on channel 9, you can also
use this channel. Call up the desired station on channel 9. As soon as contact has
been made, agree on a free channel for Your conversation and then channel 9 will be
free again for other calls.
An emergency channel can of course only work if as many stations as possible are
listening in. Therefore listen in to this channel as often as possible.
