stations equipped with this capability typically are shown,
on navigation charts, with the voice calling frequency in
parenthesis above the navigation frequency.

band (108.000 - 117.975 MHz) using the DIAL selec-
tor knob or keypad.

 key for 2 seconds to save

split function on/off setting can also be programmed into
a memory channel.
