Memory Operation
Split Memory
A separate transmit frequency may be registered to a memory channel to which a receive
frequency has already been registered.
1. In the VFO mode, select the transmit frequency to be registered.
2. Press and hold the [
V/M
(
MW
)] key.
A memory number will appear in the bottom right corner of the display.
3. Rotate the
DIAL
knob (if necessary) to select the memory channel to which the trans-
mit frequency is to be registered.
4. Press and hold the
PTT
, and press the [
V/M
(
MW
)] key momentarily while holding in
the
PTT
. This will not cause transmission, but rather it will instruct the transceiver to
program the separate
transmit
frequency into memory.
Whenever a memory which contains independently
stored transmit and receive frequencies is recalled,
the “
- +
” indication will appear in the display.
Moving Memory Data to the VFO
The data stored on a memory channel can easily be moved to the VFO.
1. Select the memory channel containing the frequency data to be moved to the VFO.
2. Press and hold the [
V/M
(
MW
)] key, and then press
the [
MHz
(
SETUP
)] key. The “VFO WRT?” will ap-
pear on the display.
3. Press the [
V/M
(
MW
)] key, the data will now have been copied to the VFO, although the
original memory contents will remain intact on the previously-stored channel.
Note:
If a split Frequency Memory channel was transferred, the TX frequency will be
ignored (The transceiver will be set up for Simplex operation on the Receive
frequency.)
Memory Only Mode
When memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in
a “Memory Only” mode, whereby VFO operation is impossible. This may be particularly
useful during public-service events where a number of operators may be using the radio
for first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired.
To place the radio into the Memory Only mode, turn the transceiver OFF. Now press and
hold the [
V/M
(
MW
)] key while turning the transceiver ON. The VFO and Home Channel
will now be disabled.
To return to normal operation, repeat the above power-on procedure.
