Memory Operation
Memory Operation on “Regular” Memory Channels
Normal Memory Storage
1. Tune in the desired frequency, and set the operating mode and bandwidth. If this is an
FM channel, set up any required CTCSS/DCS and repeater shift configurations. Stan
-
dard (default) repeater shifts do not require you to utilize the “split” frequency memory
technique, described later.
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, which is
used to find an unused memory channel. The frequency stored (if any) on the
current
memory channel will be shown in the display.
4. Rotate the
knob to select the channel number on which you wish to store the cur-
rent frequency data.
5. Press and hold in the
(MW) key for one second until you hear a double beep; the
second beep confirms that the frequency information was successfully stored.
Split-Frequency Memory Storage
You can also store “Split” frequencies, such as when operating on a repeater system not
utilizing a “standard” offset. This procedure may also be used for DX work on 7 MHz SSB,
etc.
1. In the VFO mode, set the desired
Receive
frequency and mode.
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, which is
used to find an unused memory channel. The frequency stored (if any) on the current
memory channel will be shown in the display.
4. Rotate the
knob to select the channel on which you wish to store the receive fre-
quency data.
5. Press and hold in the
(MW) key for one second until you hear a double beep,
which confirms that the
Receive
frequency data is now stored.
6. Now, set the desired
Transmit
frequency and mode on the VFO.
7. Press the
(MW) key momentarily;
do not
rotate the
knob!
8. While the “memory channel number” is blinking, press and hold in the
PTT
switch; while
holding it in, press and hold in the
(MW) key for one second. The double “beep”
will confirm that independent
Transmit
frequency data is now stored. You may now re-
lease the
PTT
switch.
In step 8 above, pressing the
PTT
switch does not activate the transmitter. It simply
sends a signal to the microprocessor that an independent Transmit frequency is be-
ing stored on the same channel as a previously-stored Receive frequency.
