Save a repeater to memory
Having set the selected frequency, offset, and tone, let’s write this repeater to memory.
To save a repeater to memory
1.
Press and hold
*V/M
until the display changes – you’ll see an “M” in inverse video, and 8 spaces
indicated to hold the memory label or “tag”..
The radio suggests a channel to store the currently programmed frequency.
2.
Either accept the suggestion by doing nothing, or press the
Up
or
Down
key to select a different
channel to save this repeater to. Let’s save it in memory channel 001, as shown in the upper-left
corner of the screen. IF there was anything in memory channel 001, we will over-write it.
3.
Using the numeric key pad
[2]
->
[9]
enter letters or numbers for a label (“tag”) for the channel
by pressing the corresponding keypad key with the desired numbers or letters.
The options cycle through the digit on the key, the upper-case letters on the key, and then the
lower-case letters, and then back around.
When the desired letter or number appears, press the
F key
to advance to the next character.
Repeat as desired.
4.
Press and hold the
*V/M
button to write the repeater information to the selected channel with
the tag you entered.
The screen flashes MEM-IN briefly to confirm that the programmed channel has been saved to
the selected memory channel, in our example 001. Once the channel is saved, you remain in
VFO mode, pressing
*V/M
will put you in memory mode, and you can review your programmed
channels by pressing the
Up
or
Down
keys.
Note:
You will need to be in memory mode to access programmed channels, as a reminder
memory mode is enabled when the display includes a small channel number in the upper left
region of the display.
