desired CTCSS or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset. The power level
may also be set at this time, if you wish to store it.
2.
Press and hold in the [F/W] key for one second.
3.
Within ten seconds of releasing the [F/W] key, you need to make a decision regarding
channel storage. The microprocessor will automatically select the next-available "free"
channel (a memory register on which no data has been stored), so you may not wish to
make any change; if this is the case, proceed to step 4. If you wish to select a different
channel number into which to store the data, rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired
memory channel. You may jump 100 memory channels, if you're in a hurry (101
301 ...) by pressing the [VFO(PRI)] key (multiple times, if necessary).
4.
Press the [F/W] key once more to store the frequency into memory.
5.
You still will be operating in the "VFO" mode, so you may now enter other frequencies,
and store them into additional memory locations, by repeating the above process.
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
STORAGE (it doesn't matter if a repeater offset is active).
2.
Turn to the desired transmit frequency, then press and hold in the [F/W] key for one
second.
3.
Within ten seconds of releasing the [F/W] 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 press the [F/W] key once more momentarily while
holding the PTT switch in (this does not key the transmitter).
R.F. Says: Whenever you recall a memory which contains independently-stored transmit and
receive frequencies, the "–+" indication will appear in the display.
Memory Recall
1.
While operating in the VFO mode, press the [MR(SKIP)] key to enter the Memory mode.
2.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired channel.
3.
To return to the VFO mode, press the [VFO(PRI)] key.
R.F. Says: When the radio is already set to the Memory mode, an easy way to recall
memories is to key in the memory channel number, then press the [F/W] key.
For example, to recall memory channel #14, press [1(SQ TYP)]
