All memories can store an independent transmit frequency, for operation on repeaters with
non-standard shift. To do this:
•
Store the receive frequency using the method already described under MEMORY STOR-
AGE (it doesn’t matter if a repeater offset is active).
‚
Turn to the desired transmit frequency, then press and hold the [
F/W
] key for one second.
ƒ
With in five seconds of releasing the [
F/W
] key, rotate the
DIAL
to select the same
memory channel number as used in step
•
above.
„
Press and hold the
PTT
switch then press the [
F/W
] key once more momentarily (this
does not key the transmitter).
Whenever you recall a memory which contains independently-stored transmit and re-
ceive frequencies, the “[+][–]” indication will appear in the display.
