Data stored on memory channels can easily be moved to VFO, if you like.
1. Press the
key, if needed, to enter the Memory Recall (“MR”) mode.
2. Press and hold in the
key for 1/2 second, then rotate
the DIAL knob to select the memory channel containing the
frequency data to be moved to VFO.
3. Press the
key. The confirmation message (OVER-

) will appear on the display. Press the
key once
more, the data will now have been copied to VFO, although
the original memory contents will remain intact on the pre-
viously stored channel. Press the PTT switch to cancel the
Moving Memory Data procedure, if desired.
If a Split Frequency Memory channel was transferred, the Tx frequency will be
ignored (you will be set up for Simplex operation on the Receive frequency).

Once memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in a
“Memory Only” mode, whereby VFO operation is impossible. This may be particularly
useful during public-service events where a number of operators may be using the radio
for the first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired.
To place the radio into the Memory Only mode, turn the radio off. Now press and hold in
the
key while turning the radio on.
To return to normal operation, repeat the above power-on procedure.
