Both radios show channel 3, SC and PT, with good power and audio connections. A stores 35.000; B stores 36.500. The assigned training frequency is 35.000 MHz.

Give FIVE: the cause, why channel numbers aren't enough, which radio to fix, why CT isn't the fix, and a check afterward.

The cause: The stored SC frequencies differ.

Channel 3 is local memory, not a shared frequency guarantee.

Load and verify 35.000 on radio B using the approved procedure.

CT changes encryption, not this frequency mismatch.

Conduct an authorized radio check after verifying settings.
