Two one-touch “Home” channels are available, for special frequencies you use often.
The HF band Special “Home” channel default is 29.300 MHz, FM. The 50 MHz band “Home” channel default is
51.000 MHz, FM.
Home Channel Recall
1. Press the [
F
] button, followed by the [
HOME/RCL
]
button to recall the Home Channel on the band
group where you currently are operating (HF or
50 MHz). The “
HOME
” notation appears in the dis-
play.
2. Press the [
F
] button, followed by the [
HOME/RCL
]
button to return to the previous-used frequency
(either a VFO or a memory channel).
The transceiver switches to VFO mode if either the
[
DSP/SEL
] knob or [
MAIN DIAL
] knob is turned. (In
AM/FM modes the menu item “
A&FDIAL
” should be
set to “
ON
” for the [
MAIN DIAL
] to be active).
Home Channel Frequency Change
The factory default for the Home Channel is 29.300 MHz, FM for HF band and 51.000 MHz, FM for 50 MHz
band. You can re-program the Home Channel in a manner identical to that used for the regular memories:
1. In the VFO mode, select the desired frequency,
mode, and status the way you want to have it
stored.
2. Press the [
F
] button followed by the [
MW
/
V/M
]
button.
The blinking current memory channel number will
be shown on the display, and the contents of the
current memory channel will be shown on the dis-
play.
If there is no action by you within 10 second from
releasing the [
MW
/
V/M
] button the Memory Stor-
age procedure is canceled.
The memory storage procedure is canceled un-
less you operate it within 10 seconds
3. Press the [
HOME/RCL
] button momentarily to
store the frequency and other data into the Home
Channel. A double beep will confirm that you have
held the [
HOME/RCL
] button in long enough.
