REVERSE FUNCTION
The reverse function exchanges a separate receive 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 station’s
signal is strong, both stations should move to a simplex
frequency and free up the repeater.
       
To swap the transmit and receive frequencies:
Press [REV] to switch the Reverse function ON (or
OFF).
• “R” appears when the function is ON.

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 200 Memory Channels (100 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 200
Memory Channels without using the Memory...

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 100 channels.  To change the
Memory Channel capacity from 200 to 100, access
