[. . . ] A maximum of 280 memory channels are available, 140 each for VHF and UHF. Up to 180 memory channels can be assigned desired names. “Visual Scan” graphically and simultaneously shows the conditions of up to 147 frequency channels. The Dual Band RX feature allows two frequencies to be simultaneously received. [. . . ] Then each person can quickly change to his or her favorite settings, simply by recalling a PM channel. It is too much trouble to change the settings after somebody else has reconfigured them. So this application may avoid having a feature-rich transceiver but never using many useful features. Situation 2: While operating mobile on the way to work every morning, you prefer a silent transceiver that does not interrupt the morning calm. In addition, you feel that a bright display is a waste of electricity in sunlight. At night when driving home, you realize the Beep function truly serves a purpose and you acknowledge it is nice to see a bright display after dark. Solution: In two PM channels, store the same operating data such as frequency, offset, DTSS code, etc. , and store different settings for the Display Dimmer and Beep functions. Then you can quickly recall the best settings for day or night operating. Situation 3: You cannot figure out how you can make the transceiver exit the current mode. Solution: Simply recall PM channel 1 that contains an exact copy of the transceiver default environment. You will not lose the contents of any memory channels. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 37 STORING DATA IN PM CHANNELS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 VOL SQL CALL PWR RECALLING PM CHANNELS 1 Press [PM]. • The PM channel numbers appear.
