HOME Channel Memories
Convenient one-touch “HOME” channel memories (one per band) are available to
simplify return to your most-often-used frequency. These memories do not ap-
pear in the regular memory banks, to simplify operation.
The use of the HOME channel requires that one of the “Programmable” keys must
be changed, via the MENU system, for a different function than that assigned at the
factory. See page 47 for details. The discussion below will assume that this func-
tion has been assigned to the
[
P2
]
key on the microphone.
To recall the HOME channel on the current band, momentarily press the
[
P2
]
key (or
whichever “Programming key” you may have assigned to the “HOME” channel).
The “
H
” icon will appear at the bottom left corner of the display (while in the
“CONTROL MODE” of the display). Another press of the
[
P2
]
key will recall the
HOME channel of the other band. Press
[
VFO/MR
]
to revert to VFO or Memory
operation.
Programming the HOME Channel(s)
The factory default frequencies for the HOME channels are 146.520 MHz (Europe
Version: 145.000 MHz) for VHF and 446.000 MHz (Europe Version: d 433.000
MHz) for UHF. You can re-program the HOME channels in a manner identical to
that used for the regular memories.
1. From the VFO mode, tune in the frequency you wish to store, and set all re-
peater shifts and other data just the way you do for “normal” memory channel
storage.
2. Press and hold in the
[
VFO/MR
]
button on the microphone for one second, then
press the
[
P2
]
key momentarily.
Note that there is only one HOME channel for each band.
