Tune in the desired frequency, and set the operating mode and bandwidth.
2.
Press the [

3.
Press the [
A
](
MC
) key momentarily to enter the “Memory Check” mode, which is used to
find an unused memory channel. The frequency stored (if any) on the current memory
channel will be shown in the display.
4.
Rotate the
SEL
knob to select the channel on which you wish to store the current
frequency data.
5.
Press and hold in the [
A
](
MC
) key for one second until you hear a double beep, which
confirms that the frequency information was successfully stored.
Split-Frequency Memory Storage
You can also store “Split” frequencies, such as when operating on a repeater system not
utilizing a “standard” offset. This procedure may also be used for DX work on 7 MHz SSB,
etc.
1.
In the VFO mode, set the desired
Receive frequency and mode.

frequency data.
5.
Press and hold in the [

Note: In step 8 above, pressing the PTT switch does not activate the transmitter. It simply
sends a signal to the microprocessor that an independent Transmit frequency is being stored
on the same channel as a previously-stored
Receive frequency.
Memory Channel Recall
1.
If you currently are in the VFO tuning mode, press the [
V/M
] key once to enter the
“Memory” mode (“memory channel number” will appear on the display placed by
“
VFOa
” or “
VFOb
”).
2.
To select another memory channel, turn the
SEL
knob.
3.
When your memory channels are partitioned into Memory Groups via Memu Item #34,
to change Memory Groups; press the
SEL
knob momentarily (a Group Number (“a” ~
“j”) will blinks), then turn the
SEL
knob to step through the channels until you enter
another. You may now press the
SEL
knob once more to restrict memory channel access
to the newly- selected Group.
4.
Once you are operating on a memory channel, you may tune off of the originally-
memorized frequency (as though you were in the VFO mode). Just rotate the
DIAL
knob; the “Memory Channel Number” will be replaced by one which indicates “
MTUNE
,”
indicating that you have now shifted into the “Memory Tuning” mode. When operating
the Memory Tuning mode, if you find another frequency you wish to store into another
