2-12.3.4.11 Transmitting a Self Call
The self-call is a test call addressed to your own address within the currently selected net. Its purpose
is to check that your radio set is OK and can transmit calls (to check reception, you can simply listen
to other radio sets).
When you send the self-call, the radio starts sending calls to its own address, successively, on each
channel in the current net. After going through all the channels, the call process stops. No other
response is expected.
NOTE
You can also include the self address in a group call.
To send a self-call:
1. Press CALL. The radio displays the last called address.
2. Press MORE once.
3. Press MULT to display the first page of special calls.
4. Press MORE again to display the next page.
5. Press SELF to start the self-call.
6. You may select now a specific channel to perform the call, by pressing CHAN. See details on
page 2-36.
