After retrieving frequencies and associated data from
Memory Recall Mode, you can copy the data to the VFO.
This function is useful, for example, when the frequency
you want to monitor is near the frequency stored in a
Memory Channel.

Press 

[F]

[VFO]

 to copy the Memory Channel data to

the VFO.

Note:

On odd-split channels, the above operation copies only the
reception frequency to the VFO (not the transmission frequency).
To copy the transmit frequency of an odd-split channel, press

[REV]

 before performing the transfer.

You can also transfer the Program Scan memory channels
(L0/U0 ~ L2/U2), the Priority Channel (Pr), and the Weather Alert
Channel (AL) (K market models only) to the VFO.

Lockout status and Memory Names are not copied from a
Memory Channel to the VFO.
