MEMORY-TO-VFO TRANSFER

You may sometimes want to search for other stations or a clear frequency near the frequency stored in a memory channel or the Call channel. In this case first transfer the contents of a memory channel or the Call channel to the VFO.

1Recall your desired memory channel or the Call channel.

2Press [F], [MsV].

7• The entire contents of the memory channel or the Call channel are copied to the VFO.

Note:

A transmit frequency from an odd-split memory channel or odd- split Call channel is not transferred to the VFO. To transfer a transmit frequency, press [REV], then press [F], [MsV].

Lockout status and memory names are not copied from a memory channel to the VFO.

If you recall the Call channel in step 1, simply turning the Tuning Control or pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN] also transfers the contents to the VFO. The frequency, however, is changed by one step.

CHANNEL DISPLAY

When in this mode, the transceiver displays only memory channel numbers (and memory names if stored) instead of frequencies.

1Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode.

2Press [c]/ [d] to select “MEMORY (1–4–)”, then press [OK].

3Press [c]/ [d] to select “CHANNEL DISPLAY (1–4–2)”, then press [OK].
