Remove and check the contents to be sure that all ordered items have been shipped. Inspect all items thoroughly. If any items have been damaged during transit, report the damage to the shipping company immediately.
4 4 Getting Started Antennas Radio/Antenna Identification An information label is attached to the back of your radio (chassis), just under the battery contacts. A radio model number is identified on this label. A typical model number might be H01UCH6DB7AN. The fourth position of the model number (in this case “U”) identifies the operating frequency band of the radio. The Radio Operating-Frequency Chart lists all fourth-position alpha characters and corresponding frequency band.
