The rest of the plain numbered channels and all of the A channels, such as 01A, 03A, and 04A, transmit and receive on a single frequency, which is termed simplex operation. Your radio automatically adjusts to these conditions. When in simplex operation, the A icon will appear on the LCD (see illustration on page A2). 20 English NOTE All the listed channels are pre-programmed at the factory according to international regulations, those of Industry Canada (Canada) and those of the FCC (U. S. A. ). They cannot be altered by the user nor can modes of operation be changed between simplex and duplex. In some countries, additional channels are available. These can be programmed on the radio by the local dealer or distributor.
