STORING SIMPLEX FREQUENCIES OR STANDARD REPEATER FREQUENCIES

1Select the desired band.

2Press [VFO].

3Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select the desired frequency.

You can also directly enter digits from the keypad. See page 45.

4If storing a standard repeater frequency, select the following data:

Offset direction {page 21}

Tone ON, if necessary {page 22}

Tone frequency, if necessary {page 22}

If storing a simplex frequency, you may select other related data (CTCSS ON, CTCSS freq., etc.).

5Press [F], [MR].

A memory channel number appears and blinks.

” indicates the current channel is empty; “ ” appears instead, if the channel contains data.

6Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select the desired memory channel.

7Press [OK].

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 using the procedure given for simplex or standard repeater frequencies.

2Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select the desired transmit frequency.

3Press [F], [MR].

4Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select the memory channel programmed in step 1.

5Press [PTT]+[OK].

• 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].

Transmit Offset status and Reverse status are not stored in an odd- split memory channel.
