channel.
Now press the [
MR

A special one-touch “HOME” channel is available, allowing quick recall of a favorite
operating frequency. Memory storage is simple to accomplish:
Change the setting of Menu Item #20 from “
REV
” to “

that option (see page 35).
Select the desired frequency, while operating in the VFO mode. Be sure to set up any
desired CTCSS or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset.
Press and hold the [
