■ What is a scratch pad

During VFO operation, the transceiver automatically memo-
rizes operating frequency information, separate from regular
memory channels, when transmitting on a new frequency.
The 5 previously operated frequencies for each band can be
recalled (L1 to L5 appear for simplex frequencies; r1 to r5 ap-
pear for duplex frequencies.

NOTE: When memory mode is selected, the frequency is
not programmed into a scratch pad.

■ Calling up a scratch pad

➀

Select the call channel by pushing [M/CALL] once or twice.
(A large “C” appears.)

• To transmit on the scratch pad memory, select the desired band

in advance.

➁

Rotate the tuning dial to select a scratch pad memory.

• Previously transmitted frequency and one of “L1–L5” appears for

simplex memories (rotate [DIAL] left); one of “r1–r2” appears for
duplex memories (rotate [DIAL] right).

• When first applying power or after CPU resetting, scratch pad

memories contain no data and therefore cannot be accessed.

➂

Push [V/MHz] or [M/CALL] to exit the scratch pad memory.

• The 5th scratch pad memory will be cleared when trans-

mitting on a new frequency. If the transmit frequency is
already stored in a scratch pad memory, the scratch pad
memory is not cleared but the order is changed.

• When transmitting on a scratch pad memory, the scratch

pad memory becomes the 1st scratch pad memory and
the order is changed.

The oldest written frequency is cleared.

Order is changed if 
transmitting on this 
channel.
