11.5.5 Receiving an Individual Call
When receiving an individual call, an acknowledgment must be sent back to the
calling station. The
GX1000S
default setting is Automatic, but has a selection
that allows you to manually send a reply before the radio will switch to the re-
quested calling channel. This selection is useful if you want to see who is calling
and requesting you to switch to a channel for communications, similar to caller id
on a cellular phone.
1. When an individual call is received, an individual call ringing alarm sounds.
The radio automatically switches to the requested chan-
nel and the display will scroll to show the time the call
was received and also “
