Memory Operation
Memory Operation on “HOME” Channel Memories
Four Special one-touch “Home” channels are available, for special frequencies you use
often. Either “simplex” or “split” frequency/mode data may be stored in the “Home” channel
locations. Special “Home” channels are available for HF (any frequency between 1.8 and
29.7 MHz), 50 MHz, 144 MHz, and 430 MHz.
These memories may prove particularly useful for monitoring propagation beacons, pro-
viding one-touch recall of the beacon frequency for a quick check of band conditions.
HOME Channel Storage
1. Tune the desired frequency, and set the operating mode. If this is an FM channel, set
up any required CTCSS/DCS and repeater shift configurations.
2. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the
knob, as needed, until Operating
Function Row 2 [MW, MC, TAG] appears on the display.
3. Press the
(MW) key momentarily to enter the “Memory Check” mode.
4. Press and hold in the
key for one second. This stores the frequency data into the
“Home” channel location. As usual, you will hear a double beep to confirm the success
-
ful storage of the frequency data.
5. If you wish to store a “Split” frequency pair into the “Home” channel, store the
Receive
frequency in steps 1 ~ 4 above. Now set the desired
Transmit
frequency.
6. Once more, press the
(MW) key momentarily.
7. Press and hold in the microphone’s
PTT
switch; while holding the
PTT
switch, again
press and hold the
key for one second. This stores the transmit frequency data
into the “Home” channel location.
HOME Channel Recall
1. Press the
key momentarily to recall the Home Channel on the band group where
you currently are operating (HF, 50 MHz, 144 MHz, or 430 MHz). The “HOME” indica-
tion will appear on the display.
2. Press the
key once more to return to the previously-used frequency (either a VFO
frequency or a memory channel).
