Optimize Frequency Selection: Ensure you’re tuned to the correct VHF or UHF frequency for your communication needs. The AL-800's dual-band capability ensures seamless performance, but proper tuning is essential for clear, uninterrupted communication.
Protect the Antenna When Not in Use: Retract the antenna fully and store it safely when you’re finished.
