EMORY PERATION ON
Four Special one-touch "Home" channels are available, for special frequencies you use
often. Either "simplex" or "split" frequency/mode data may be stored in the "Home" chan-
nel locations. Special "Home" channels are available for HF (any frequency between 1.8
and 29.7 MHz), 50 MHz, 144 MHz, and 430 MHz.
These memories may prove particularly useful for monitoring propagation beacons, provid-
ing one-touch recall of the beacon frequency for a quick check of band conditions.
HOME Channel Storage
1. Tune the desired frequency, and set the operating mode. If this is an FM channel, set up
any required CTCSS/DCS and repeater shift configurations.
2. Press the [ FUNC ] key momentarily, then rotate the SELECT knob, as needed, until
Multi Function Row "b" [ MW, SKIP, TAG ] appears on the display.
3. Press the [ A ]( MW ) key momentarily to enter the "Memory Check" mode.
4. Press and hold in the [ HOME ] key for one second. This stores the frequency data into
the "Home" channel location. As usual, you will hear a double beep to confirm the suc-
cessful storage of the frequency data.
5. If you wish to store a "Split" frequency pair into the "Home" channel, store the Receive
frequency as in steps 1 ~ 4 above. Now set the desired Transmit frequency. Once more,
press the [ A ]( MW ) key momentarily. Press and hold in the microphone's PTT switch;
while holding the PTT switch, again press and hold in the [ HOME ] key for one second.
This stores the transmit frequency data into the "Home" channel location.
In step (4) above, pressing and holding in the [HOME] key stores the frequency
data, and leaves the Alpha-Numeric tag for this channel as "HOME." If you wish
to re-label the Home channel with a different name, press the [HOME] key momentarily
in step (4), then follow the instructions on the next page for the programming of an
Alpha-Numeric Tag.
HOME Channel Recall
1. Press the [ HOME ] key momentarily to recall the Home Channel on the band group
where you currently are operating (HF, 50 MHz, 144 MHz, or 430 MHz). The "HOME"
indication will appear on the display.
2. Press the [ HOME ] key once more to return to the previously-used frequency (either a
VFO frequency or a memory channel).
