10 MEMORY FEATURES MEMORY CHANNELS This transceiver provides you with 120 memory channels, numbered 00 to 99, P0 to P9, and E0 to E9, for storing operating frequency data, modes, and other information. Memory channels 00 to 99 are called Conventional Memory Channels. Memory channels P0 to P9 are designed for programming VFO tuning ranges and scan ranges. Memory channels E0 to E9 are Expansion Memory Channels. The data you can store is listed below. Conventional memory channels are used for storing data you will often recall. For example, you may store the frequency where you regularly meet your club members.

Use either method, depending on the relationship of the reception and transmission frequencies you store: • Simplex channels: RX frequency = TX frequency • Split-frequency channels: RX frequency  TX frequency Memory channels P0 to P9 can also be used as simplex channels. Note: When RIT or XIT is ON, the frequency that includes the RIT or XIT offset will be stored. ■ Simplex Channels 1 Press [A/B (A=B)] to select VFO A or VFO B. • " " or " " appears to show which VFO is selected. 2 Select the frequency, mode, etc., to be stored. 3 Press [M.IN] to enter Memory Scroll mode. • " " appears. • To exit Memory Scroll mode and abort the storage process, press [CLR]. 4 Turn the MULTI/CH control, or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to select a memory channel. • You can also select a channel by entering a 2-digit number, such as 12, using the numeric keys. Press [1.8 (1)], [3.5 (2)] for example. 5 Press [M.IN] again to store the data. • The previous data stored in the channel is overwritten. ■ Split-Frequency Channels 1 Press [A/B (A=B)] to select VFO A or VFO B. • " " or " " appears to show which VFO is selected. 2 Select the frequency, mode, etc., to be stored. • This frequency and mode will be used for transmitting. 3 Press [A/B (A=B)] to select the other VFO. 4 Select the reception frequency and mode. 5 Press [SPLIT]. • " " appears. 6 Press [M.IN] to enter Memory Scroll mode. • To exit Memory Scroll mode and abort the storage process, press [CLR]. 7 Turn the MULTI/CH control, or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to select a memory channel. 43
