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	Simplex &	Odd-Split
	Repeater
Receive frequency	Yes	Yes
Transmit frequency		Yes
Tone frequency	Yes	Yes
Tone ON	Yes	Yes
CTCSS frequency	Yes	Yes
CTCSS ON	Yes	Yes
DCS code	Yes	Yes
DCS ON	Yes	Yes
Offset direction	Yes	N/A
Offset frequency	Yes	N/A
Reverse ON	Yes	N/A
Frequency step size	Yes	Yes
Memory channel lockout	Yes	Yes
Memory channel name	Yes	Yes
FINE tuning ON	Yes	Yes
Mode selection	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

1Press [VFO].

2Turn 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}.

3If 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.).

4Press [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.

5Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select the memory channel in which you want to store the data.

6Press [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.

1Store the desired receive frequency and related data by the procedure given for simplex or standard repeater frequencies {above}.

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select the desired transmit frequency.

3Press [F].

4Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select the memory channel you programmed in step 1.

5Press [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.
