RECALLING A MEMORY CHANNEL
There are 2 ways of recalling the desired memory
channel.
nUsing the Tuning Control or /  Keys
1Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.
¥ The memory channel used last is recalled.
2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to
select your desired memory channel.
¥ You cannot recall an empty memory
channel.
¥ To restore VFO mode, press [VFO].
Note:  If the ÒCURRENT BANDÓ is selected for Menu No. 3 (MR
METHOD), only memory channels that have the same band data
can be recalled {below}.
nUsing a Numeric Keypad
You can also recall a memory channel by entering
a desired memory channel number with the
keypad.
1Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.
2Press [ENT], then enter the channel number
using 3 digits.
¥ For example, to recall channel 12, press
[ENT], [0], [1], [2].
¥ You can shorten the entry for memory
channels 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 beep
sounds.
uYou cannot recall the Program Scan memory channels
(L0/U0 ~ L9/U9), Priority channels (Pr1 and Pr2), and
Information Channels (IÐ0 ~ IÐ9), using the numeric keypad.
uWhen you recall an odd-split memory channel, Ò+Ó and ÒÐÓ
appear on the display.  Press [REV] to display the transmit
frequency.
uAfter recalling a memory channel, you may modify data such
as Tone or CTCSS.  These settings, however, are cleared
once you select another channel or the VFO mode.  To
permanently store the data, overwrite the channel contents
{page 15}.
CLEARING A MEMORY CHANNEL
To clear an individual memory channel:
1Recall the memory channel you want to erase.
2Press and hold [ 
 ] (POWER) to switch the
transceiver OFF.
3Press [MR]+[ 
 ] (POWER).
¥ An erase confirmation message appears.
4Press [MR] ([] or [MNU]) to erase the channel

Note:uIf you clear the information channel data, the data will be set to
the factory default values.
uYou can also clear the Priority channel data and L0/U0 ~ L9/U9
data.
uTo clear all memory channels contents, perform the Full Reset
{page 50}.
MEMORY RECALL MODE
Since the transceiver has more than 400 memory
channels, it sometimes takes time to search for your
desired memory channel.  By default, the transceiver
can recall all memory channels when [MR] is
pressed, regardless of the current operating band.
However, you can configure the transceiver to recall
only the memory channels that have the same band
information.  For example, when you operate on the
2 m band in VFO mode, pressing [MR] recalls only
the memory channels that have 2 m band
information.  To change the memory recall mode:
1Press [MNU].
2Turn the Tuning control or press [
]/ [] to select
Menu No. 3 (MR METHOD).
3Press [
] or [MNU].
4Turn the Tuning control or press [
]/ [] to select
ÒCURRENT BANDÓ.
5Press [
] or [MNU] to store the setting.
Otherwise, press [
] or [PTT] to cancel.
When you press [MR] in VFO mode, only memory
channels that have the same band data are recalled.
To return to the default memory recall mode, repeat
step 1 to 5 {above} and select ÒALL BANDSÓ in
step 4.
Note:uAll Information Channels are recalled regardless of Memory
Recall mode selection.
uMemory Recall mode selection does not change the Memory
Group scan channels {page 24} .

{page 15}.
CALL CHANNEL
The Call channel can be recalled instantly no
matter what frequency the transceiver is operating
on.  For instance, you may use the Call channel as
an emergency channel within your group.  In this
case, the Call Scan {page 25} will be useful.
The default Call channel frequencies are
144.000 MHz for the 2 m band, 223.000 MHz for
1.25 m band (TH-F6A), 430.000 MHz (TH-F7E)/
440.000 MHz (TH-F6A) for the 70 cm band.  Each
Call channel can be reprogrammed either as a
simplex or odd-split channel.
Note:  Unlike Memory channels 0 to 399, the Call channel cannot be
cleared.  Clearing the Call channel will set it to the factory default
values.

and Visual scan).  The Priority scan stops while ÒPr1Ó or ÒPr2Ó is
blinking:  [F], [F] (1 s), [LAMP], [MONI], [SQL], [BAL], [A/B],
Tuning control, [
]/ [], [F] then [SQL], and [F] then [LOW].
NORMAL SCAN
When you are operating the transceiver in VFO mode,
3 types of scanning are available:  Band Scan,
Program Scan, and MHz Scan.
BAND SCAN
The transceiver scans the entire band of the
frequency you selected.  For example, if you are
operating and receiving at 144.525 MHz on the
A-band, it scans all the frequencies available for the
2 m band.  (Refer to receiver VFO frequency range
in the specifications {page 54}.)  When the current
VFO receive frequency is outside of the Program
Scan frequency range {page 23}, the transceiver
scans the entire frequency range available for the
current VFO.
1Press [VFO].
2Press [BAND] to select your desired band.
3Turn the Tuning control or press [
]/ [] to select
the frequency outside of the Program Scan
frequency range {page 23}.
4Press [VFO] (1 s) to start the Band Scan.
5To stop the Band Scan, press [VFO] or [PTT].
Note:
uWhile scanning, you can change the scan frequency direction by
turning the Tuning control or press []/ [].
uThe transceiver scans the frequency range that is stored in Menu
No. 4 (PROG VFO) {page 39} on the A-band.
uIf you select a frequency within the L0/U0 ~ L9/U9 range in
step 3, the Program Scan {page 23} starts.
uIf you press [MONI], Band Scan temporarily pauses.  Release
[MONI] to resume scanning.
uThe transceiver stops scanning in all modes when it detects a
