MEMORY FEATURES

MEMORY CHANNELS

The TS-2000(X) provides you with 300 memory channels, numbered 00 to 299, for storing operating frequency data, modes and other information. Memory channels 00 to 289 are called Conventional Memory Channels. Memory channels 290 to 299 are designed for programming VFO tuning ranges and scan ranges. The data you can store is listed below:

Conventional memory is used for storing data you will often recall. For example, you may store the frequency where you regularly meet your club members.

Parameter	Channel	Channel
	00 ~ 289	290 ~ 299
RX frequency	Yes	Yes 1
TX frequency	Yes	(simplex)
RX mode	Yes	Yes 1
TX mode	Yes	(simplex)
Start/ End frequencies	No	Yes
Offset frequency	Yes	Yes
Shift direction	Yes	Yes
Reverse mode	Yes	Yes
RX frequency step size	Yes	Yes
TX frequency step size	Yes	(simplex)
Tone frequency	Yes	Yes
CTCSS frequency	Yes	Yes
DCS code	Yes	Yes
Tone/ CTCSS/ DCS mode	Yes	Yes
ON/ OFF
Memory name	Yes	Yes
Memory Channel Lockout	Yes 1	Yes 1
ON/ OFF

1Changing the data after recalling a memory channel overwrites the contents of the channel.

STORING DATA IN MEMORY

There are 2 methods used for storing transmit/receive frequencies and associated data in memory channels 00 to 289. Use either method, depending on the relationship of the receive and transmit frequencies you store:

•Simplex channels:

RX frequency = TX frequency

•Split-frequency channels: RX frequency ≠ TX frequency

Memory channels 290 to 299 can also be used as simplex channels.

Note: When RIT or XIT is ON, the frequency that includes the RIT or XIT offset will be stored.

■Simplex Channels

1Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B.

•“tA” or “tB” appears to show which VFO is selected.

2Select the frequency, mode, etc. to be stored.

3Press [M.IN] to enter Memory Scroll mode.

•To exit Memory Scroll mode and abort the storage process, press [CLR].

4Turn the MULTI/ CH control, or press Mic [UP] or [DWN] to select a memory channel.

•You can also select a channel by entering a 3-digit number, such as 012, using the numeric keys.

5Press [M.IN] again to store the data.

•The previous data stored in the channel is overwritten.
