extension channel that can be selected. The extension channel is
based on the main or primary channel. When the main channel is
set to channel 1, channel 5 will be used as the extension channel.
When the main channel is set to 9, the extension channel can be
channel 5 or 13.
(2). The availability of some specific channels and/or operational
frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware
programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The
firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.
