CALL CHANNEL
The Call Channel can be recalled instantly, no matter the frequency on which you
are operating the transceiver. For instance, you may use the Call Channel as an
emergency channel within your group. In this case, Call Scan will be useful.
The default Call Channel frequency is 144.000 MHz (TH-K20A/E)/ 430.000 MHz

Note: Unlike memory channels 0 to 199, the Call Channel cannot be cleared.
