MEMORY MODE (REGULAR MEMORY CHANNEL OPERATION)

MEMORY STORAGE

STORING INDEPENDENT TRANSMIT FREQUENCIES (“ODD SPLITS”)

All memories can store an independent transmit frequency, for operation on repeaters with non-standard shift. To do this:

1.Store the receive frequency using the method already described under MEMORY STOR- AGE (it doesn’t matter if a repeater offset is active).

2.Tune to the desired transmit frequency, then press and hold in the key for 1/2 second.

3.Within five seconds of releasing the key, rotate the DIAL knob to select the same memory channel number as used in step “1” above.

4.Press and hold in the PTT switch, then briefly press the key once more while holding the PTT switch in (this does not key the transmitter).

Whenever you recall a memory, which contains independently -stored transmit and receive frequen- cies, the “ ” indication will appear in the display.
