The RuggedRadios G1 radio has a Dual Monitor option in the Settings.
With this option engaged, the radio will listen for activity on the last channel used on the hidden band.
This radio has Band A and Band B memories. Notice the little A or B at the upper right of the screen. The A/B key switches between the two.
Memories in A and B are the same, BUT... you can leave A on a channel and B on a different channel. Then when activity is received on the B band channel, the radio will automatically switch to that channel and be ready to operate. When the signal is lost on that channel, the radio will return to the channel in use on A band.
This can be confusing since it seems the radio "runs off" to another channel unexpectedly. Well, it's just doing what you told it to do.
If you want it to cease this behavior, uncheck Dual Monitor. You will remain on the channel you selected without the unexpected change.
