11 MEMORY OPERATION11-2The transceiver has a total of 495 Memory channels (99channels in each of 5 memory banks, A to E), 6 ScanEdge channels (3 pairs) and two Call channels (C1/C2)each for the 144 and 430 MHz frequency bands.The Memory mode is useful to quickly select often-used frequencies.While in the memory mode, all 505 Memory channelsare tunable, which means the programmed frequencycan be temporarily tuned with the Dial.When you tune a Memory channel without storing, andthen go back to the channel again, the original storedfrequency is displayed.In the Memory mode, touch just above MHz area onthe display, and then select the desired band. Then ro-tate the Dial to select the frequency to be stored.Memory Channels Descriptions1–99 (Total of 495) Regular Memory channels with split frequency capability.1A/1B–3A/3B Program Scan Edge Memory channels with only simplex capability.Stores the Scan Edge frequencies for programmed scans.C1/C2 Two Call channels (C1/C2) each for the 144 and 430 MHz frequency bands.Call channel with split frequency capability. Instantly recalls a specified frequency.D Memory channel contentsThe following information can be programmed intoMemory channels:• Operating frequency (p. 3-7)• Operating mode (p. 3-17)• IF filter number (p. 5-6)• Split data (p. 6-8)( Usable only on the regular Memory channels andCall channels.)• Memory name (p. 11-10)• Duplex direction (DUP+ or DUP–) and frequency off-set (p. 4-25)• Subaudible tone encoder (p. 4-26), tone squelch orDTCS squelch ON/OFF (pp. 4-22, 4-23)• Subaudible tone frequency (p. 4-26), tone squelch fre-quency or DTCS code with polarity (pp. 4-22, 4-23)• Destination call sign (p. 9-45)• R1/R2 call signs (p. 9-26)• Call sign squelch or Digital code squelch ON/OFF(p. 9-22)• Digital code (p. 9-22)NOTE:Memory content can be erased by static electricity,electric transients, and other causes. In addition, theycan be erased by a malfunction or during repairs.Therefore, we recommend that you backup the mem-ory content or save it to an SD card or to a PC.• The SD card is not available from Icom. Purchase anSD card to meet your needs.• The optional CS-7100 cloning software can alsobe used to backup your memory data.General description
