I bought a Yaesu 6X-R radio. I think I've bought a radio that is beyond my needs.
When I go paragliding or fishing, people want me to to put the radio on channel 1 or whatever.
I can't figure out how to do this. I looked at a maritime channel frequency chart which says:
Channel: 01
Ship transmit: 156.050
Ship receive:156.650
So my question is as a total beginner, can I use the radio to simply communicate with others on channels? How do I go about programming the channels in? What about the different transmit/receive frequency?
I appreciate any help. I should have bought a simplified radio.
