Questions:
1. Sometimes I would like to go directly to a given (conventional) Channel and listen. What I presently do is:
a) Press Hold.
b) Press Func, and while that is active, scroll to the System the channel is in. This isn't too bad, as I don't have too many systems.
c) With Func inactive, I scroll to the Channel within the system. This is annoying, since I have one system with about 200 channels. It would be nice to scroll directly to/through the Groups, and then scroll to the desired Channel. However, pressing a digit doesn't take me to a Group, but instead invokes "Direct Entry".
Is there a better way to go directly to a known System/Channel and listen, WITHOUT assigning tags (a truly laborious task)? I can go to a Channel easily through the "Program System" menus, but I can then only change settings, not LISTEN. Ugh.
2. Using Group Quick Keys [Edit: answered by experimentation]
3. When in Direct Entry mode, what does the "i" character mean at the beginning of a frequency? [Edit: Motorola "I-Call". I still don't know what it is, but I've figured out from Mark's documentation, that I don't need to know ...]
