MEMORY FEATURES

MICROPROCESSOR MEMORY BACKUP

This transceiver uses a lithium battery to retain the user-
specified memory items. Switching OFF the power will
not erase the Menu Setups or memory channels.
Lithium battery life is approximately 5 years.
If you find the transceiver powers-up with default
settings, and VFO and memory channel data is erased,
have the lithium battery replaced. Contact an
authorized KENWOOD Service Facility or dealer.

CONVENTIONAL OR QUICK MEMORY?

Memory channels allow you to save various operating
parameters (receive frequency, operating mode, etc.)
for recall at a later time. You can store this data in
Conventional or Quick memory. Conventional memory
is used for storing data that you may want to recall
many times in the future during different operating
sessions. For example, Conventional memory is useful
to store the frequency where you regularly meet your
club members.
However, Quick memory is meant for quickly saving
data without needing to specify a particular memory
channel. It's likely that you won't need this data during
future operating sessions. For example, as you tune
across the band looking for DX, it is convenient to store
stations that you want to contact into Quick memory.
You can quickly jump between several different Quick
memory channels as you monitor them.

MEMORY CHANNEL DATA

There are a total of 100 Conventional memory
channels. The channels are numbered 00 ~ 99.
Channels 00 ~ 98 have identical characteristics
whereas channel 99 is reserved for programming VFO
tuning ranges and scan ranges.
Channels 00 ~ 98 can store the following:
Receive frequency and mode
Transmit frequency and mode
Subtone frequency
Memory Lock Out (OFF/ON)
The Subtone selected via Menu No. 57 (SUB.TONE) is
Note:
automatically stored, but the stored Subtone can only be used if the
TX and RX modes are FM.
Channel 99 can store the following:
Frequency and mode (simplex only)
Start frequency and mode
End frequency
Memory Lock Out (OFF/ON)
54

MEMORY CHANNEL STORAGE

Memory channels can be either simplex or
split-frequency. Simplex channels use the stored
frequency for receiving and transmitting.
Split-frequency channels use a different frequency for
transmitting and receiving. Also, even if RIT or XIT is
ON with a frequency offset selected, this offset will not
be added to the frequency when it is stored.

■ Simplex Channels

1 Press [RX A] or [RX B] to select simplex mode.
The indicators in the [RX A] and [TX A]
buttons, or the indicators in the [RX B] and
[TX B] buttons must be ON.
2 Select the frequency, mode, etc. to be stored.
3 Press [M.IN] to select Memory Scroll mode.
