Four Special one-touch “Home” channels are available, for special frequencies you use often.
Either “simplex” or “split” frequency/mode data may be stored in the “Home” channel
locations. Special “Home” channels are available for HF (any frequency between 1.8 and
29.7 MHz), 50 MHz, 144 MHz, and 430 MHz.
These memories may prove particularly useful for monitoring propagation beacons,
providing one-touch recall of the beacon frequency for quick checks of band condition.
