Memory channels are an easy way to store commonly used frequencies so that they can
easily be retrieved at a later date.
The Radioddity GA-5S features 128 memory channels that each can hold: Receive and
transmit frequencies, transmit power, group signaling information, bandwidth, ANI/ PTT-ID
settings and a six-character alphanumeric identifier or channel name 1.
Manual programming is somewhat difficult until you get used to it, especially when
programming in duplex channels. Note that the ANI S-CODE IDs can only be set from a
computer. When programming channels it is important to remember that you can only save
memory channels when working on the upper display in VFO mode.
To create a new channel, start by switching your radio to Frequency (VFO) mode using
VFO/MR key. When in Frequency (VFO) mode, select your desired receive frequency
using the numerical keypad. After that, use the menu system to configure the finer details
of the channel you're wanting to program to memory, such as transmit power, bandwidth,
CTCSS or DCS and more.
