There is a channel button on the radios, providing the functionality laid out in the manual (p. 3-3):
The KX 155A/165A also has provision to program 32 channels. Pressing the CHAN button for 2
or more seconds will cause the unit to enter the channel program mode. Upon entering the chan-
nel program mode,“PG” is displayed next to the channel number and the channel number will flash
indicating that it can be programmed. The desired channel can be selected by turning the comm
kHz knob. The channel frequency can be entered by pushing the COMM TRANSFER button
which will cause the standby frequency to flash. The comm frequency knobs are then used to en-
ter the desired frequency. If dashes (displayed when rotating the outer knob between 136 MHz
and 118 MHz) are entered instead of a frequency, the corresponding channel is skipped in chan-
nel selection mode. Additional channels may be programmed by pressing the COMM TRANS-
FER and using the same procedure. To exit the program mode and save the channel information,
momentarily push the CHAN button. This will cause the unit to return to the previous frequency
entry mode. The unit will also exit the channel program mode if there is no button or knob activity
for 20 seconds.
The channel selection mode can then be entered by momentarily pushing CHAN button. “CH” is
displayed next to the last used channel number. The comm frequency knobs can be used to se-
lect the desired channel. The unit will automatically default to the previous mode if no channel is
selected within 2 seconds after entering the channel selection mode.
