Chapter 7 Memory Channels; Number Of Memory Channels; Simplex & Repeater Or Odd-Split Memory Channel - Kenwood TM-271 Instruction Manual

In Memory Channels, you can store frequencies and
related data that you frequently use so that you do not
need to reprogram that data every time. You can quickly
recall a programmed channel through simple operation.
A total of 200 Memory Channels (100 when using the
Memory Name function) are available for storing
frequencies, modes, and other operating conditions.

NUMBER OF MEMORY CHANNELS

The transceiver must be configured to either 200
Memory Channels without using the Memory Name
function or 100 Memory Channels with the Memory
Name function (default).

Note:
◆ If you change the Memory Channel capacity from 200 channels to
100 channels after having stored data in channels 100 to 199, all
Memory Channel data in channels 100 to 199 will be erased.
◆ If you change the Memory Channel capacity from 100 channels to
200 channels after storing Memory Names in those channels, the
Memory Name data will be erased.
SIMPLEX & REPEATER OR ODD-SPLIT MEMORY
CHANNEL?
You can use each Memory Channel as a simplex &
repeater channel or an odd-split channel. Store only 1
frequency to use as a simplex & repeater channel or 2
separate frequencies to use as an odd-split channel.
Select either application for each channel depending on
the operations you have in mind.
Simplex & repeater channels allow:
• Simplex frequency operation
• Repeater operation with a standard offset (if an offset
direction is stored)
Odd-split channels allow:
• Repeater operation with a non-standard offset
Note: Not only can you store data in Memory Channels, but you can
also overwrite existing data with new data.
