Explorer and CERT vehicle radios

Day Wireless has installed a Vertex mobile radio in the Explorer and reprogrammed the radio in the CERT vehicle.  Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them.  They generally have the same programming in the same zone configuration and channel order as the Motorolas. 

 

There are a couple of things that are different about their displays:  The characters are limited to eight characters rather than the ten and twelve that you are familiar with.  There are no channel numbers to reference.  The various zones are not identified by a letter but rather by a zone number.  Example:  Our home zone/bank is Astoria or B Zone in the Motorolas.  In the Vertex it  momentarily displays Astoria and leaves an O2 in the right corner. C Zone is 03, D Zone is 04 etc.  Thank you.
