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” channel 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, providing 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 key momentarily, then rotate the knob, as needed, until Operating

Function Row 2 [ MW , MC , TAG

] appears on the display.

3. Press the

(

MW

) key momentarily to enter the “Memory Check” mode.

4. Press and hold in the 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 successful storage of the frequency data.

5. If you wish to store a “Split” frequency pair into the “Home” channel, store the Receive frequency in steps 1 ~ 4 above. Now set the desired Transmit frequency.

6. Once more, press the

(

MW

) key momentarily.

7. Press and hold in the microphone’s

PTT

switch; while holding the

PTT

switch, again press and hold the key for one second. This stores the transmit frequency data into the “Home” channel location.

HOME Channel Recall

1. Press the 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 key once more to return to the previously-used frequency (either a VFO frequency or a memory channel).
