then hold the PTT switch while pressing F/WRITE once more (the transmitter is
not activated in this case). By either method the results will be the same in
operation, except that storing a separate transmit frequency applies only to one
memory, while the offset method applies to all (when the RPT button is pressed).
Memory Recall
To recall stored memories press D/MR to select the Memory mode (Memory
number is displayed), and then rotate the selector knob or press the up/down keys
to select the desired memory. Only prestored memories are displayed: empty
memories are skipped.
If you stored a memory for split-frequency operation by the offset method, "-" or
"+" will be displayed to remind you of the shift. If you stored a memory with a
separate transmit frequency, "-+" are displayed together to remind you of this. In
either case, you can press the REV button to check the transmit frequency without
actually transmitting (and press it again to return).
You can also retune a memory once it is recalled, by pressing the MHz button: "M
TUNE" appears at the bottom center of the display, and you can tune the
displayed memory frequency in the same ways as described before (including the
"MHz" tuning). If you retune and want to store the new memory settings (in the
current, or another memory), just follow steps (2) - (4) of the memory storage
procedure above: operation will be left on the memory.
If you don't want to save your changes to the memory, just press D/MR: once to
return to the original memory data, and again to leave the memories and return to
the Dial mode.
Hiding and Erasing Memories
As already mentioned, storing data in a memory automatically overwrites data that
was previously stored there. However, if you regularly move from one area to
another, you may not want to use the same number of memories all the time, or you
may wish to change your operating memories without having to rewrite them from
scratch. This can be done by
