STORING SIMPLEX FREQUENCIES OR STANDARD REPEATER FREQUENCIES

1Select the desired band.

2Press [VFO].

3Select the desired frequency.

4To store a standard repeater frequency, select the following data:

• Offset direction {page 27}

7• Tone ON, if necessary {page 28}

• Tone frequency, if necessary {page 28}

To store a simplex frequency, you may select other related data (CTCSS ON, CTCSS frequency, etc.).

5Press [F].

A memory channel number appears and blinks.

” indicates the current channel is empty while “ ” indicates the channel contains data.

6Turn the Tuning control, or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN], to select your desired memory channel.

7Press [M.IN].

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 an offset frequency and direction.

1Select the desired receive frequency and related data using steps 1 to 4 given for simplex or standard repeater frequencies.

2Press [F].

3Turn the Tuning control, or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN], to select the desired memory channel.

4Press [M.IN] (1 s).

• “±” appears.

5Select your desired transmit frequency.

6Press [M.IN].

Note:

When you recall an odd-split memory channel, “±” appears 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.
