Note:
uYou cannot recall an empty memory channel.  An error beep
sounds.
uYou cannot recall the Program Scan memory channels
(L0/U0 ~ L2/U2), Priority Channel (Pr) and Weather Alert
(AL) (TH-K2AT K/ K2 only) using the numeric keypad.
uWhen you recall an odd-split memory channel, Ò+Ó and ÒÐÓ
appear on the display.  Press [F], [MENU] (Reverse function)
{page 38} to display the transmission frequency.
uAfter recalling a memory channel, you may modify data such
as Tone or CTCSS.  However, these settings are cleared
once you select another channel or the VFO Mode.  To
permanently store the data, overwrite the channel contents
{page 44}.
CLEARING A MEMORY CHANNEL
To clear the data from an individual memory channel:
1Recall the memory channel you want to clear the
data.
2Press and hold [ 
 ] (POWER) to switch the
transceiver OFF.
3Press [MR]+[ 
 ] (POWER).
¥ A confirmation message appears.
4Press [MR] to clear the channel data.
¥ The contents of the memory channel are cleared.
¥ To quit clearing the memory channel, press any key
other than [MR], [LAMP], [MONI/SQL] and [ 
 ]
(POWER). 
						

							48
Note:
uCall Channel data cannot be cleared.uYou can also clear the Priority Channel, L0/U0 ~ L2/U2 and
Weather Alert  data.
uWhile the trasceiver is in Channel Display Mode or Lock function
is activated, you cannot clear the channel data.
uTo clear all memory channels contents at once, perform FullReset {page 111}.
NAMING A MEMORY CHANNEL
You can name memory channels using up to 6
alphanumeric characters.  When you recall a named
memory channel, its name appears on the display in
place of the stored frequency.  Names can be call signs,
repeater names, cities, names of people, etc.  In order
to use the Memory Name function, the memory channel
capacity must be set to 50 channels.  To change the
memory channel capacity from 100 to 50, access Menu
No. 13 (M.CH) {page 41}.
1Press [MR] to recall your desired memory channel.
2Press [MENU] to enter Menu Mode.
3Turn the Tuning control to select Menu No. 14
(M.NAME).
4Press [MENU].
¥ A blinking cursor appears.
5Turn the Tuning control to select a desired
alphanumeric character. 
						

							49
¥ You can enter the following alphanumeric characters:
0 ~ 9, A ~ Z, Ð (hyphen), / (slash), and a space.
¥ Press [MONI/SQL] to delete the character at the
current cursor position.
6Press [MENU].
¥ The cursor moves to the next digit.
7Repeat steps 5 and 6 to enter up to 6 digits.
¥ To complete the entry, press [MENU] without selecting
a character.
¥ Press [MONI/SQL] to delete a character.
¥ Press any key other than [MONI/SQL], [MENU], and
[LAMP] to cancel the entry.
After storing a Memory name, the Memory name
appears in place of the operating frequency.  However,
you can still display the operating frequency, if desired.
To display the frequency rather than Memory name,
access Menu No. 15 (MDF) and select ÒFRQÓ.  This
menu toggles the display mode between the Memory
name (ÒMNÓ) and frequency display (ÒFRQÓ).
Note:uYou cannot name the Call Channel {page 53}.uYou cannot assign a Memory name to a channel that does not
contain data.
uYou can overwrite stored names by repeating steps 1 to 7.uThe stored name is erased when you clear the Memory channeldata.

MEMORY CHANNEL TRANSFER
Memory \ VFO Transfer
After retrieving frequencies and associated data from
Memory Recall Mode, you can copy the data to the
VFO.  This function is useful, for example, when the
frequency you want to monitor is near the frequency
stored in a memory channel.
1Press [MR], then turn the Tuning control to recall a
desired memory channel.
2Press [F], [VFO] to copy the memory channel data
to the VFO.
Note:
uTo copy an odd-split channel data {page 45}, turn the Reverse
function ON {page 38} before performing the transfer.
uYou can also transfer the Program Scan memory channels (L0/U0
~ L2/U2), the Priority Channel (Pr) and Weather Alert (AL)
frequency (TH-K2AT K/ K2 only) to the VFO.
Channel \ Channel Transfer
You can copy channel information from one memory
channel to another.  This function is useful when storing
frequencies and associated data that you temporarily
change in Memory Recall Mode.
1Press [MR], then turn the Tuning control to recall a
desired memory channel.
2Press [F], [MR]. 
						

							51
3Select the memory channel where you would like the
data copied, using the Tuning control.
4Press [MR].
The tables below illustrate how data is transferred
between memory channels.

Note:  When transferring an odd-split channel, the Reverse status,
Offset direction and Offset frequency are not transferred {pages 32,
33, 38}. 
						

							53
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, Call
Scan {page 64} will be useful.
The default Call Channel frequencies are 144.000 MHz
for the 2 m band (all TH-K2 models), and 430.000 MHz
(all TH-K4 models) for the 70 cm band.
Note:  Unlike memory channels 0 to 99, the Call Channel cannot becleared.
Recalling the Call Channel
1Press [CALL] to recall the Call Channel.
¥ The Call Channel frequency and ÒCÓ appear.
¥ To return to the previous frequency, press [CALL]
again. 
						

							54
Reprogramming the Call Channel
1Select your desired frequency and related data
(Tone, CTCSS, DCS, or offset direction, etc.).
¥ When you program the Call Channel as an odd-split
channel, select a reception frequency first.
2Press [F], [CALL].
¥ The selected frequency and related data are stored in
the Call Channel.
To also store a separate transmit frequency, continue
with the following steps.
3Select the desired transmission frequency.
4Press [F].
5Press [PTT]+[CALL].
¥ The separate transmission frequency is stored in the
Call Channel.
Note:
uWhen you recall an odd-split Call Channel, Ò+Ó and ÒÐÓ appear on
the display.
uTransmit offset status and Reverse status are not stored in anodd-split Call Channel.

WEATHER ALERT (TH-K2AT K/ K2 ONLY)
One of the NOAA Weather Radio channels can be
programmed to the AL memory channel of the TH-K2AT.
The transceiver can be configured to check the NOAA
Weather Alert tone (1050 Hz) and will automatically alert
you by recalling and monitoring the Weather Radio
frequency when the Weather Alert tone is broadcasted.
Programming the Weather Radio Frequency
The transceiver is preprogrammed to 162.550 MHz
(WX1).  You can store a different frequency to the AL
channel to use this function.  Refer to the NOAA
channel frequency directory for your local Weather
Radio frequency before you use the Weather Alert
function.  The latest Weather Radio information can be
obtained from 
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/.
1Press [VFO].
2Select your local NOAA Weather Radio frequency
using the Tuning control or keypad.
3Press [F], [MR].
4Turn the Tuning control to select memory channel
ÒALÓ (Alert).
5Press [MR].
¥ A long beep sounds and the new NOAA Weather
Radio frequency is stored to memory channel ÒALÓ.

Note:
uWhen you perform Full Reset {page 111}, the Weather Radio
frequency recovers the factory default frequency (162.550 MHz).
uWhen you clear the Weather Radio channel {page 47}, the
factory default frequency (162.550 MHz) will not be recovered.
uYou can also transfer the AL memory channel data to the VFO oranother memory channel.
Enabling a Weather Alert
You can monitor the Weather Radio frequency
continuously or in the background while receiving on
another frequency.
To monitor the Weather Radio frequency continuously:
1Press [MENU].
2Turn the Tuning control to select Menu No. 37
(WXA).
3Press [MENU] and turn the Tuning control to select
ÒONÓ.
4Press [MENU] to store the setting.
¥ The frequency automatically changes to the Weather
Radio frequency.
¥ ÒWXÓ appears on the LCD and the transceiver mutes.
¥ The Tone, CTCSS and DCS functions cannot be
configured to the AL channel.
¥ When the Weather Alert tone is broadcasted, a morse
code ÒWXÓ sounds from speaker and the transceiver
unmutes.
5To exit the Weather Alert mode, press [MENU],
select Menu No. 37 (WXA), and set it to ÒOFFÓ.
