MEMORY CHANNELS

The data listed below can be stored in each memory
channel:

In memory channels, you can store frequencies and related
data that you often use.  A total of 280 memory channels
are available, 140 each for VHF and UHF.

You can also store a name for each memory channel.
Using this naming function restricts the total number of
memory channels to 180, but allows you to select the ratio
of channels between the VHF and UHF bands, from among
5 types.  For more information, see "NAMING MEMORY
CHANNELS" {page 32}.

SIMPLEX OR SPLIT MEMORY CHANNEL?

There are 2 methods of storing transmit/receive
frequencies and related data in memory channels,
depending on the relationship of the transmit and receive
frequencies. You can use each memory channel either as a
simplex channel or split channel.  Use as a split channel to
store a separate receive and transmit frequency.

Simplex memory channels:
RX frequency = TX frequency

Split memory channels:
RX frequency 

 TX frequency

Note:  Not only can you store data in memory channels, but you can also
overwrite existing data with new data.
