MEMORY CHANNELS In Memory Channels, you can store frequencies and related data that you frequently use so that you do not need to reprogram that data every time. You can quickly recall a programmed channel through simple operation. A total of 200 Memory Channels (100 when using the Memory Name function) are available for storing frequencies, modes, and other operating conditions. NUMBER OF MEMORY CHANNELS The transceiver must be configured to either 200 Memory Channels without using the Memory Name function or 100 Memory Channels with the Memory Name function 7 (default). To change the Memory Channel capacity: 1 Press [F], [MENU] and turn the Tuning control to select Menu No. 15 (M.CH). 2 Press [MENU] and turn the Tuning control to select either "100" (default) or "200". 3 Press [MENU]. • "SURE ?" appears. 4 Press [MENU] to accept or press any other key to cancel. Note: ◆ If you change the Memory Channel capacity from 200 channels to 100 channels after having stored data in channels 100 to 199, all Memory Channel data in channels 100 to 199 will be erased. ◆ If you change the Memory Channel capacity from 100 channels to 200 channels after storing Memory Names in those channels, the Memory Name data will be erased. 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 1 frequency to use as a simplex & repeater channel or 2 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. 28
