A convenient one-touch “H
OME
” channel memory is available to simplify return to your
most-often-used frequency. This memory does not appear in the regular memory bank, to
simplify operation.
To recall the H
OME
channel while in the
MR
mode, just press the [
D/MR
] key momentarily.
From the
VFO
mode, press [
D/MR
] twice. While you are operating on the H
OME
channel,
an “
H
” will appear at the right side of the display.
The factory default frequency for the H
OME
channel is 146.520 MHz. You can re-program
the H
OME
channel in a manner identical to that used for the regular memories:
(1) From the VFO mode, tune in the frequency you wish to store, and set all repeater shifts
and other data just the way you do for “normal” memory channel storage.
(2) Press and hold the [
D/MR
] key for one second, then rotate the
Main Dial
knob to
select “
HOME
.”
(3) Press the [
D/MR
] key momentarily to store the new H
OME
channel.
(4) At this point, the right-most digit will be blinking, as a reminder that you can store an
Alpha-Numeric label to the H
OME
channel. Use the A/N storage procedure described
previously.

Once you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may tune off that channel, as
though you were in the VFO mode.
(1) With the FT-2600M in the “
MR
”
mode, select the desired memory channel.
(2) Press the [
MHz
] key momentarily.
(3) Now rotate the
Main Dial
knob, as desired, to tune to a new frequency. This new
frequency may be stored in a new memory register, if you like, using the procedures
described earlier.
(4) If you wish to return to the original memory frequency, press the [
D/MR
] key momen-
tarily. Any offset tuning will be discarded, and the original memory contents will
appear on the display.
