The manufacturer has pre-programmed your AE 5090 for some commonly-used
channels:
Channel 1 recommended call channel on FM
Channel 4 recommended as call channel for AM
Channel 9 international calling and emergency channel
In Germany particularly this Channel 9 (in AM) is also used by all truck drivers. This
means: a large number of stations are listening in. If the worst comes to the worst
(e.g. in case of accident etc.) there is a good chance that someone will be listening.
To call other stations, who you know are listening in on channel 9, you can also use
this channel. Call up the desired station on channel 9. As soon as contact has been
made, agree on a free channel for your conversation and then channel 9 will be free
again for other calls.
An emergency channel can of course only work if as many stations as possible are
listening in. Therefore listen in to this channel as often as possible.
Channel 19: Trucker channel in France, Spain and Italy (in AM).
Channel 40
Programming one of the 5 direct channel buttons

Within the next 5 seconds press the desired direct channel button (1 to 5)
