Setting Channels and Frequencies
The PRC1099A stores up to 100 different frequencies in channel numbers
00 to 99. Each of the channel positions on the front panel is capable of
displaying any one of the 100 channels stored in memory. The transceiver
utilizes 100 channels and can display 10 channels at a time. All channels can
be used in the scanning mode or with other options.
