The tables above illustrate how data is transferred between memory channels.

Note: When transferring an odd-split channel, the Reverse status, Offset direction, and Offset frequency are not transferred {page 15}.

CALL CHANNEL

The Call channel can be recalled instantly no matter what frequency the transceiver is operating on. For instance, you may use the Call channel as an emergency channel within your group. In this case, the Call Scan {page 25} will be useful.

The default Call channel frequencies are 144.000 MHz for the 2 m band, 223.000 MHz for

1.25m band (TH-F6A), 430.000 MHz (TH-F7E)/ 440.000 MHz (TH-F6A) for the 70 cm band. Each Call channel can be reprogrammed either as a simplex or odd-split channel.

Note: Unlike Memory channels 0 to 399, the Call channel cannot be cleared. Clearing the Call channel will set it to the factory default values.

RECALLING THE CALL CHANNEL

1Press [BAND] to select an amateur radio band.

2Press [CALL] to recall the Call channel for that operating band.

• The Call channel frequency and “C” appear.

•To return to the previous frequency, press [CALL] again.

REPROGRAMMING THE CALL CHANNEL

1Press [BAND] to select your desired amateur radio band.

2Select your desired frequency and related data (Tone, CTCSS, DCS, or offset direction, etc.).

•When you program the Call channel as an odd- split channel, select a receive frequency first.

3Press [F], [CALL].

•The selected frequency and related data are stored in the Call channel for the selected band.

To also store a separate transmit frequency, continue with the following steps.

4Select the desired transmit frequency.

5Press [F].

6Press [PTT]+[CALL].

•The separate transmit frequency is stored in the Call channel.

Note:

◆The transmit frequency must be on the same band as the receive frequency band.

◆Call channel data is shared between the A and B-band.

◆The Reverse status cannot be not stored in the Call channel.

◆When you recall an odd-split Call channel, “+” and “–” appear on the display.

◆Transmit offset status and Reverse status are not stored in an odd-split Call channel.

◆When you revise only the transmission frequency for the odd-split Call channel, the frequency step size must be the same as the original odd-split Call channel memory data.
