AUTOMATIC REPEATER OFFSET (TH-K2AT/ E/ ET ONLY)
This function automatically selects an offset direction,
according to the frequency on the 2 m band.  The
transceiver is programmed for offset direction as shown
below.  To obtain an up-to-date band plan for repeater
offset direction, contact your national Amateur Radio
association.

REVERSE FUNCTION
The Reverse function exchanges a separate reception
and transmission frequency.  So, while using a repeater,
you can manually check the strength of a signal that you
receive directly from the other station.  If the stationÕs
signal is strong, both stations should move to a simplex
frequency and free up the repeater.
To swap the transmission and reception frequencies:
Press [F], [MENU] to switch the Reverse function ON
(or OFF).

OFF).
¥ÒÓ appears when the function is ON.
¥ While direct contact is possible, Ò

uPressing [PTT] switch causes the ÒÓ icon to quit blinking.uASC can be activated while operating in Simplex mode.
However, it does not change the Transmission/ Reception
frequencies.

¥ When the transceiver receives a signal, scan starts.
The decimal point blinks during scan.
¥ While the transceiver is receiving a signal during Tone
Freq. ID Scan, the signal is emitted from the speaker.
¥ To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control.
¥ To quit the function, press [PTT].
¥ When the tone frequency is identified, a beep sounds
and the identified frequency blinks.
4Press [MENU] to program the identified frequency in
place of the current tone frequency.

MEMORY CHANNELS
In memory channels, you can store frequencies and
related data that you frequently use so that you do not
need to reprogram that data every time.  You can quickly
recall a programmed channel through simple operation.
A total of 100 memory channels (50 when using the
Memory Name function) are available for storing
frequencies, modes and other operating conditions.
NUMBER OF MEMORY CHANNELS
The transceiver must be configured to either 100
memory channels without using the Memory Name...

42
Note:
uIf you change the memory channel capacity from 100 channels to
50 channels after having stored data in channels 50 to 99, all
memory channel data in channels 50 to 99 will be erased.
uIf you change the memory channel capacity from 50 channels to
100 channels after storing Memory names in those channels, all
Memory name data will be erased.

Storing Simplex Frequencies or Standard Repeater Frequencies
1Press [VFO].
2Turn the Tuning control to select your desired
frequency.
¥ You can also directly enter a desired frequency using
the keypad (TH-K2AT/ ET/ K4AT only) {page 21}.
3If storing a standard repeater frequency, select the
following data:
¥ Offset direction {page 32}
¥ Tone function, if necessary {page 34}
¥ CTCSS/ DCS function, if necessary {pages 69, 73}
If storing a simplex frequency, you may select other
related data (CTCSS or DCS...

45
Storing Odd-Split Repeater Frequencies
Some repeaters use a pair of reception and
transmission frequencies with a non-standard offset.
If you store two separate frequencies in a memory
channel, you can operate on those repeaters without
programming the offset frequency and direction.
1Store the desired reception frequency and related
data by following the procedure given for simplex or
standard repeater frequencies {page 44}.
2Turn the Tuning control to select the desired
transmission frequency....

Recalling a Memory Channel
nUsing the Tuning Control
1Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall Mode.
¥ The memory channel last used is recalled.
2Turn the Tuning control to select your desired
memory channel.
¥ You cannot recall an empty memory channel.
¥ To restore VFO Mode, press [VFO].
nUsing a Numeric Keypad (TH-K2AT/ ET/ K4AT only)
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 [#], then enter the channel...
