The EMG (Emergency) button is for instant access to international Calling &
Emergency channel 9, which is monitored by all truckers and many CB users and in
some regions even by road safety organizations. If you need any help or assistance,
it is a good idea to call on this channel 9. Truckers can be reached in most cases in
AM mode.
The emergency channel is also used on the German highways as warning system in
case of accidents, road maintenance or serious traffic jams with collision danger. If
You pass a special beacon on your lane and a dangerous situation may be in front of
you, you will be warned by alarm tones and voice announcement.
With the EMG key you can toggle between CH 9 and your previously used channel.
The other, often used calling channel is Channel 19. If you want to use CH 19, please
use FC and the second function button SHIFT (see page 14).

ASQ
As already mentioned in the squelch chapter, the ASQ is a feature that allows the radio
to receive an incoming signal which is stronger than the surrounding noise level. This
automatic switching function does not need any adjustment and works fully automatic.
It opens at any signal which is good enough to be understood.
The sensitivity of the ASQ system is very good. It can even open at signal strengths
below the nominal maximum usable sensitivity. The only criterion is the reduction of
noise on the receiving channel.
However, the ASQ function is limited to normal receiving conditions on the CB band.
During periods of strong over-range wave propagation, strong sun-spot activities and
very strong interference signals it may open from time to time without a voice signal
may be heard. In such cases it may be better to use the standard squelch instead of
the ASQ. An additional ASQ button can be found on the microphone!
