MEMORY CHANNELS In memory channels, you can store frequencies and related data that you often use. Then you need not reprogram those data every time. You can quickly recall a programmed channel through simple operation. A total of 400 memory channels are available for storing the frequencies, modes and other operating conditions of the A and B-bands. SIMPLEX & REPEATER OR ODD-SPLIT MEMORY CHANNEL? You can use each memory channel as a simplex & repeater channel or an odd-split channel. Store only one frequency to use as a simplex & repeater channel or two separate frequencies to use as an odd-split channel. Select either application for each channel depending on the operations you have in mind. Simplex & repeater channels allow: • Simplex frequency operation • Repeater operation with a standard offset (if an offset direction is stored) Odd-split channels allow: • Repeater operation with a non-standard offset Note: Not only can you store data in memory channels, but you can also overwrite existing data with new data. The data listed below can be stored in each memory channel: Parameter Receive frequency Transmit frequency Tone frequency Tone ON CTCSS frequency CTCSS ON DCS code DCS ON Offset direction Offset frequency Reverse ON Frequency step size Memory channel lockout Memory channel name FINE tuning ON Mode selection Simplex & Repeater Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Odd-Split Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes N/A N/A N/A Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes: Can be stored in memory. N/A: Cannot be stored in memory. Note: The transmit frequency must be on the same band as the receive frequency band (Odd-split channel). STORING SIMPLEX FREQUENCIES OR STANDARD REPEATER FREQUENCIES 1 Press [VFO]. 2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select your desired frequency in the amateur radio bands. • You can also directly enter desired frequency using the keypad {page 7}. 3 If storing a standard repeater frequency, select the following data: • Offset direction {page 12} • Tone function, if necessary {page 13} • CTCSS/ DCS function, if necessary {pages 28, 29} If storing a simplex frequency, you may select other related data (CTCSS or DCS settings, etc.). 4 Press [F]. • A memory channel number appears and blinks. • " " indicates the current channel is empty; " " appears if the channel contains data. • Memory channel number L0/U0 ~ L9/U9 {page 23}, I-0 ~ I-9 {page 20}, and Pr1 and Pr2 {page 25} are reserved for other functions. 5 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select the memory channel in which you want to store the data. 6 Press [MR] ([ ] or [MNU]) to store the data to the channel. STORING ODD-SPLIT REPEATER FREQUENCIES Some repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency pair with a non-standard offset. If you store two separate frequencies in a memory channel, you can operate on those repeaters without programming the offset frequency and direction. 1 Store the desired receive frequency and related data by the procedure given for simplex or standard repeater frequencies {above}. 2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select the desired transmit frequency. 3 Press [F]. 4 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select the memory channel you programmed in step 1. 5 Press [PTT]+[MR] ([PTT]+[ ] or [PTT]+[MNU]). • The transmit frequency is stored in the memory channel. Note: x When you recall an odd-split memory channel, "+" and "-" appear on the display. To confirm the transmit frequency, press [REV]. x When you revise only the transmission frequency for the odd-split channel, the frequency step size must be the same as the original odd-split channel memory data. 15

MEMORY CHANNELS
In memory channels, you can store frequencies and
related data that you often use.
Then you need not
reprogram those data every time.
You can quickly
recall a programmed channel through simple
operation.
A total of 400 memory channels are
available for storing the frequencies, modes and
other operating conditions of the A and B-bands.
SIMPLEX & REPEATER OR
ODD-SPLIT MEMORY CHANNEL?
You can use each memory channel as a simplex &
repeater channel or an odd-split channel.
Store only
one frequency to use as a simplex & repeater
channel or two separate frequencies to use as an
odd-split channel.
Select either application for each
channel depending on the operations you have in
mind.
Simplex & repeater channels allow:
•
Simplex frequency operation
•
Repeater operation with a standard offset
(if an offset direction is stored)
Odd-split channels allow:
•
Repeater operation with a non-standard offset
Note:
Not only can you store data in memory channels, but you can
also overwrite existing data with new data.
The data listed below can be stored in each memory
channel:

Can be stored in memory.
N/A:
Cannot be stored in memory.
Note:
The transmit frequency must be on the same band as the
receive frequency band (Odd-split channel).
STORING SIMPLEX FREQUENCIES OR
STANDARD REPEATER FREQUENCIES
1
Press
[VFO]
.
2
Turn the
Tuning
control or press
[
]
/
[
]
to select
your desired frequency in the amateur radio
bands.
•
You can also directly enter desired frequency
using the keypad {page 7}.
3
If storing a standard repeater frequency, select the
following data:
•
Offset direction {page 12}
•
Tone function, if necessary {page 13}
•
CTCSS/ DCS function, if necessary
{pages 28, 29}
If storing a simplex frequency, you may select
other related data (CTCSS or DCS settings, etc.).
4
Press
[F]
.
•
A memory channel number appears and blinks.
•
“
” indicates the current channel is empty; “
”
appears if the channel contains data.
•
Memory channel number L0/U0 ~ L9/U9
{page 23}, I–0 ~ I–9 {page 20}, and Pr1 and
Pr2 {page 25} are reserved for other functions.
5
Turn the
Tuning
control or press
[
]
/
[
]
to select
the memory channel in which you want to store
the data.
6
Press
[MR]
(
[
]
or
[MNU]
) to store the data to the
channel.
STORING ODD-SPLIT REPEATER FREQUENCIES
Some repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency
pair with a non-standard offset.
If you store two
separate frequencies in a memory channel, you can
operate on those repeaters without programming the
offset frequency and direction.
1
Store the desired receive frequency and related
data by the procedure given for simplex or
standard repeater frequencies {above}.
2
Turn the
Tuning
control or press
[
]
/
[
]
to select
the desired transmit frequency.
3
Press
[F]
.
4
Turn the
Tuning
control or press
[
]
/
[
]
to select
the memory channel you programmed in step 1.
5
Press
[PTT]+[MR]
(
[PTT]+[
]
or
[PTT]+[MNU]
).
•
The transmit frequency is stored in the memory
channel.
Note:
◆
When you recall an odd-split memory channel, “+” and “–” appear
on the display.
To confirm the transmit frequency, press
[REV]
.
◆
When you revise only the transmission frequency for the odd-split
channel, the frequency step size must be the same as the
original odd-split channel memory data.
