The factory defaults for the Home channels are listed below. You may re-program the
Home channel in a manner identical to that used for the regular memories:
1. Select the desired frequency, while operating in the VFO mode. Be sure to set up any
desired CTCSS or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset. The power level
may also be set at this time, if you wish to store it.
2. Press and hold in the key for 1/2 second.
3. While the memory channel number is blinking, just press the key. The frequency
and other data (if any) will now be stored in the special HOME channel register.
4. You may repeat this process on the other operating bands.
Note that the UHF
HOME channel is
the one used during
“Emergency” operation. See
page 107 for details regarding
this feature.
