TM
T6202, T6212 and T6222 radios have 8 channels and
38 Interference Eliminator Codes. To talk to others, all radios in
your group must be set to the same channel and code.
Interference Eliminator Codes filter out static, noise and
unwanted messages on radio channels. You can only
communicate with radios using the same channel and code.
However, since radio channels can be monitored, conversations
are not private. To avoid congested channels, change the radio’s
channel/code setting. (Ensure all other radios in your group are
also changed to the same setting).
