Split-Frequency Memory Storage
You can also store “Split” frequencies, such as when operating on a repeater system not utiliz-
ing 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.
2. Press the [
FUNC
] key momentarily, then rotate the
SELECT
knob, as needed, until
Multi Function Row “b” [
MW, SKIP, TAG
] appears on the display.
3. Press the [
A
](
MW
) key momentarily to enter the “Memory Check” mode, which is used
to find an unused memory channel. The Memory Channel Number notation at the upper
left corner of the LCD will blink, and the frequency stored (if any) on the selected memory
channel will be shown in the display. Rotate the
SELECT
knob to select the channel on
which you wish to store the receive frequency data.
4. Press and hold in the [
A
](
MW
) key for one second until you hear two beeps (a second
apart), which confirms that the Receive frequency data is now stored.
5. Now, set the desired Transmit frequency and mode on the VFO.
6. Press the [
A
](
MW
) key momentarily; do not rotate the
SELECT
knob!
7. While the Memory Channel Number is blinking, press and hold in the
PTT
switch; while
holding it in, press and hold in the [
A
](
MW
) key for one second.
8. The two beeps will confirm that independent Transmit frequency data is now stored. You
may now release the
PTT
switch.
In step 7 above, pressing the PTT switch does not activate the transmitter. It sim-
ply sends a signal to the microprocessor that an independent Transmit frequency
is being stored on the same channel as a previously-stored Receive frequency.
