Home Channel Memory; Split Memory Operation; Tuning Memories - Yaesu FT-8500/mh-39 Manual

Home Channel Memory
The Home channel is an instant-recall memory (one
per band) that can be used to give quick access to
any commonly used frequency (such as a simplex
calling channel or club repeater).
It
is instantly re-
called from DIAL or MR modes by pressing ~.
When :[)
IS
pressed, H appears in the channel box
for the respective band while the Home channel is
selected. The Home channel memory is set to bot-
tom edge of the band by default, but you can repro-
gram it with any frequency and repeater state, or
even a separate transmit frequency.
To program the Home channel memory, select

menu (page 63) and use the same
procedure as for storing regular memories.
Split Memory Operation
All memories can store an independent transmit fre-
quency, for operation on repeaters with non-standard
shift.
Note! - this operation requires at least one of the
user-programmed keys to be configured for menu
recall.
o
Store the receive frequency in the desired memory
using the method already described (it does not
matter if a repeater offset is active).
o
Tune the VFO to the desired transmit frequency.

then hold the PTT switch while pressing

or
Q
(whichever is set for menu recall) once
more momentarily (this does not key the transmit-
ter).
Whenever you recall a separate transmit frequency
memory, "- +" appear together above the appropriate
frequency display. Again, you can press @fl ~!.ID to
display the transmit frequency, and the shift symbols
will blink. You can also press @fl ~® to cancel
repeater shift (temporarily, until you change chan-
nels).
After storing a memory with a separate transmit fre-
quency, rewriting the receive frequency also deletes
the separate transmit frequency.
Tuning Memories
While receiving on a recalled memory, you can re-
tune it and change other memorized settings (such
as repeater shift) by pressing
