MEMORY CHANNELS

In memory channels, you can store frequencies and related data that you often use. Then you need not reprogram that data every time. You can quickly recall a programmed channel by simple operation. A total of 200 memory channels are available for bands A and B.

SIMPLEX & REPEATER OR ODD-SPLIT MEMORY CHANNEL?

You can use each memory channel as a simplex & repeater channel or as 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 channel allows:

•Simplex frequency operation

•Repeater operation with a standard offset (If an offset direction is stored)

Odd-split channel allows:

• Repeater operation with a non-standard offset

Note:

◆Not only can you store data in memory channels, you can also overwrite existing data with new data.

◆If you have recalled a memory channel on the non-control band (A or B), you cannot select the same channel on the control band to program data.

The data listed below can be stored in each memory channel:
