Channel Definition Page
The GPSCOM 170’s channel definition page reviews
lockout and usage information for the active channel.
The top section of the page displays the current
(active) channel number, mode of operation (simplex or
duplex), band of operation (USA, Canada, or
International)–(or ‘WX’ for a weather channel), and the
‘LOCKOUT’ field.
Channel Definitions
There is a maximum of three definition fields for each
channel, with the FCC’s default channel usage displayed.
If the designated usage for a channel should ever change
due to a change in regulations, you can change the defi-
nition accordingly.
To change a channel definition:
1. Highlight the definition field you want to change and
press
E
.
2. Use the arrow keypad to scroll through the list of avail-
able definitions and press
E
to confirm the selec-
tion.
Just below the channel definition list is the
‘DEFAULT?’ prompt which allows you to return the chan-
nel definitions back to their original (default) settings.
