Kenwood TM-255E - Manual (Page 33)

CALL CHANNEL STORAGE
The Call channel can be used to store any frequency
within your transceiver operating range. The Call
channel always can be selected quickly. You may
wish to dedicate the Call channel on a group-wide
basis as an emergency channel only to be used for
urgent communications. Regardless, it's always best
to move to a different frequency after establishing
contact to free-up the Call channel.
Store your desired frequency for the Call channel with
this procedure.
1 Select a frequency, modulation mode, and other
data (as required).

4 Press [M.IN] again.
• The data selected in Step 1 is stored in the Call
channel, and the transceiver returns to VFO
mode.
Note: Pressing [M.IN] overwrites new data on any previous data
in that channel.
3 To return to VFO mode, press either [A/B], or
[M>V] if you wish to transfer the selected memory
data to the VFO last selected.
Note: When using PIT with Memory Recall, the frequency shift as
a result of RIT alters the memory channel frequency only
temporarily. When RIT is turned OFF, the frequency actually stored
In the memory channel is displayed. If RIT shifts the frequency
outside the transceiver's frequency range, the frequency beyond
the frequency limit is displayed; however, after RIT Is turned OFF,
the frequency stored in the memory channel is displayed.
TEMPORARY FREQUENCY CHANGE
It is possible to change the operating frequency by
using the Main Tuning control without affecting the
contents of the recalled memory channel. Select this
operation via Menu B, No.55 {page 14}.
