Memory Storage
1.
Select the desired frequency, while operating in the VFO mode. Be sure to set up any
desired CTCSS or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset. The power level
may also be set at this time, if you wish to store it.
2.
Press and hold in the [
F/W
] key for one second.
3.
Within five seconds of releasing the [
F/W
] key, you need to make a decision regarding
channel storage. The microprocessor will automatically select the next-available “free”
channel (a memory register on which no data has been stored), so you may not wish to
make any change; if this is the case, proceed to step 4. If you wish to select a different
channel number into which to store the data, rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the desired
memory channel. You may jump 100 memory channels, if you’re in a hurry (101
à
201
à
301
...
), by pressing the [
H/L
] key (multiple times, if necessary). Any channel
that you see with a blinking channel number currently has no data written on it (i.e. the
channel is “free”).
4.
Press the [
F/W
] key once more to store the frequency into memory.
5.
You still will be operating in the “VFO” mode, so you may now enter other frequen-
cies, and store them into additional memory locations, by repeating the above process.
You may change the automatic memory channel selection feature to select
the “next-highest memory channel above the last-stored memory channel”
instead of the “next-available ‘free’ channel” via the Set Mode Item 27: MW
MODE; see page 68.
Storing Independent Transmit Frequencies (“Odd Splits”)
All memories can store an independent transmit frequency, for operation on repeaters with
non-standard shift. To do this:
1.
Store the receive frequency using the method already described under MEMORY
STORAGE (it doesn’t matter if a repeater offset is active).
2.
Turn to the desired transmit frequency, then press and hold in the [
F/W
] key for one
second.
3.
Within five seconds of releasing the [
F/W
] key, rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the
same memory channel number as used in step “1” above.
4.
Press and hold in
the
PTT
switch, then press the [
F/W
] key once more momentarily
while holding
the
PTT
switch in (this does not key the transmitter).
Whenever you recall a memory which contains inde-
pendently-stored transmit and receive frequencies, the
“
” indication will appear in the display..
