6 MEMORY CHANNELS
RECALLING A MEMORY CHANNEL
There are 2 ways of recalling the desired memory
channel.
■ Using the Tuning Control or / Keys
1 Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.
• The memory channel used last is recalled.
2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to
select your desired memory channel.
• You cannot recall an empty memory
channel.
• To restore VFO mode, press [VFO].
Note: If the “CURRENT BAND” is selected for Menu No. 3 (MR
METHOD), only memory channels that have the same band data
can be recalled {below}.
■ Using a Numeric Keypad
You can also recall a memory channel by entering
a desired memory channel number with the
keypad.
1 Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.
2 Press [ENT], then enter the channel number
using 3 digits.
• For example, to recall channel 12, press
[ENT], [0], [1], [2].
• You can shorten the entry for memory
channels that are less than 100 by pressing
[ENT] after entering the channel number.
For example, to recall memory channel 9,
press [ENT], [9], [ENT].
Note:
◆ You cannot recall an empty memory channel. An error beep
sounds.
◆ You cannot recall the Program Scan memory channels
(L0/U0 ~ L9/U9), Priority channels (Pr1 and Pr2), and
Information Channels (I–0 ~ I–9), using the numeric keypad.
◆ When you recall an odd-split memory channel, “+” and “–”
appear on the display. Press [REV] to display the transmit
frequency.
◆ After recalling a memory channel, you may modify data such
as Tone or CTCSS. These settings, however, are cleared
once you select another channel or the VFO mode. To
permanently store the data, overwrite the channel contents
{page 15}.
CLEARING A MEMORY CHANNEL
To clear an individual memory channel:
1 Recall the memory channel you want to erase.
2 Press and hold [ ] (POWER) to switch the
transceiver OFF.
3 Press [MR]+[ ] (POWER).
• An erase confirmation message appears.
4 Press [MR] ([ ] or [MNU]) to erase the channel
data.
• The contents of the memory channel are
erased.
• To quit clearing the memory channel, press any
key other than [MR], [ ] and [MNU].
Note:
◆ If you clear the information channel data, the data will be set to
the factory default values.
◆ You can also clear the Priority channel data and L0/U0 ~ L9/U9
data.
◆ To clear all memory channels contents, perform the Full Reset
{page 50}.
MEMORY RECALL MODE
Since the transceiver has more than 400 memory
channels, it sometimes takes time to search for your
desired memory channel. By default, the transceiver
can recall all memory channels when [MR] is
pressed, regardless of the current operating band.
However, you can configure the transceiver to recall
only the memory channels that have the same band
information. For example, when you operate on the
2 m band in VFO mode, pressing [MR] recalls only
the memory channels that have 2 m band
information. To change the memory recall mode:
1 Press [MNU].
2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select
Menu No. 3 (MR METHOD).
3 Press [ ] or [MNU].
4 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select
“CURRENT BAND”.
5 Press [ ] or [MNU] to store the setting.
Otherwise, press [ ] or [PTT] to cancel.
When you press [MR] in VFO mode, only memory
channels that have the same band data are recalled.
To return to the default memory recall mode, repeat
step 1 to 5 {above} and select “ALL BANDS” in
step 4.
Note:
◆ All Information Channels are recalled regardless of Memory
Recall mode selection.
◆ Memory Recall mode selection does not change the Memory
Group scan channels {page 24} .
