DEFAULT CHANNEL 0 is the EMERGENCY CHANNEL.

I do hope this will help you to program the SSB 220 OK

But the manual does STATE THAT these above program instructions apply to field programmable radios ONLY
If the set has production programmed preset channels in it then it therefore will not be programmable by a customer.
If you have tried to program the E2 prom yourself, you may have to erase it first in order to field programme as above?
