166 MEMORY CHANNELSRECALLING A MEMORY CHANNELThere are 2 ways of recalling the desired memorychannel.n Using the Tuning Control or / Keys1 Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.• The memory channel used last is recalled.2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] toselect your desired memory channel.• You cannot recall an empty memorychannel.• To restore VFO mode, press [VFO].Note: If the “CURRENT BAND” is selected for Menu No. 3 (MRMETHOD), only memory channels that have the same band datacan be recalled {below}.n Using a Numeric KeypadYou can also recall a memory channel by enteringa desired memory channel number with thekeypad.1 Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.2 Press [ENT], then enter the channel numberusing 3 digits.• For example, to recall channel 12, press[ENT], [0], [1], [2].• You can shorten the entry for memorychannels 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:uYou cannot recall an empty memory channel. An error beepsounds.uYou cannot recall the Program Scan memory channels(L0/U0 ~ L9/U9), Priority channels (Pr1 and Pr2), andInformation Channels (I–0 ~ I–9), using the numeric keypad.uWhen you recall an odd-split memory channel, “+” and “–”appear on the display. Press [REV] to display the transmitfrequency.uAfter recalling a memory channel, you may modify data suchas Tone or CTCSS. These settings, however, are clearedonce you select another channel or the VFO mode. Topermanently store the data, overwrite the channel contents{page 15}.CLEARING A MEMORY CHANNELTo clear an individual memory channel:1 Recall the memory channel you want to erase.2 Press and hold [ ] (POWER) to switch thetransceiver OFF.3 Press [MR]+[ ] (POWER).• An erase confirmation message appears.4 Press [MR] ([ ] or [MNU]) to erase the channeldata.• The contents of the memory channel areerased.• To quit clearing the memory channel, press anykey other than [MR], [ ] and [MNU].Note:uIf you clear the information channel data, the data will be set tothe factory default values.uYou can also clear the Priority channel data and L0/U0 ~ L9/U9data.uTo clear all memory channels contents, perform the Full Reset{page 50}.MEMORY RECALL MODESince the transceiver has more than 400 memorychannels, it sometimes takes time to search for yourdesired memory channel. By default, the transceivercan recall all memory channels when [MR] ispressed, regardless of the current operating band.However, you can configure the transceiver to recallonly the memory channels that have the same bandinformation. For example, when you operate on the2 m band in VFO mode, pressing [MR] recalls onlythe memory channels that have 2 m bandinformation. To change the memory recall mode:1 Press [MNU].2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to selectMenu 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 memorychannels that have the same band data are recalled.To return to the default memory recall mode, repeatstep 1 to 5 {above} and select “ALL BANDS” instep 4.Note:uAll Information Channels are recalled regardless of MemoryRecall mode selection.uMemory Recall mode selection does not change the MemoryGroup scan channels {page 24} .
