MEMORY OPERATION
Memory channels
The transceiver has 105 memory channels (includes 6
scan edge channels). Memory mode is useful for
quickly changing to often-used frequencies.
All 105 memory channels are tuneable which means
the programmed frequency can be tuned temporarily
with the main dial, etc., in memory mode.

qSelect M2functions.
• Push [DISPLAY] once or twice to select M.
• Push [MENU] one or more times to select M2.
wSet the desired frequency and operating mode in
VFO mode.
• If you want to program the split frequency function, pro-
gram both receive and transmit frequencies into VFO A
and B, then turn ON the split function.
• If you want to program a repeater function, set a tone
frequency (pgs. 44, 45) in addition to the receive/trans-
mit frequencies.

Any unnecessary memory channels can be cleared.
The cleared memory channels become blank chan-
nels.

Memory names
All memory channels (including scan edges) can be
tagged with alphanumeric names of up to 9 charac-
ters each.
All common keyboard characters (ASCII characters
33 to 126) can be used, including numerals and punc-
tuation marks.

qSelect the G4display.
•Push [DISPLAY] once or twice to select G.
•Push [MENU] one or more times to select G4.

•Writing frequencies and operating modes
into memo pads
qSelect the S1display.
• Push [DISPLAY] once or twice to select S.
• Push [MENU] one or more times to select S1.
wPush [(F-2)MPW] to program the frequency into a
memo pad.
When you write a 6th frequency and operating mode,
the oldest written frequency and operating mode are
automatically erased to make room for the new set-
tings.
NOTE: Each memo pad must have its own unique
combination of frequency and operating mode;

ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION
The internal automatic antenna tuner matches the
transceiver to the connected antenna automatically.
Once the tuner matches an antenna, the latching relays
combination are memorized as a preset point for each
frequency range (100 kHz steps). Therefore, when you
change the frequency range, the latching relays are au-
tomatically preset to the memorized combination.CAUTION:NEVERtransmit with the tuner ON
when no antenna is connected. This will damage
the transceiver. Be careful...

9ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION
The AT-180 automatic antenna tuner matches the IC-
703 to the connected antenna automatically. Once the
tuner matches an antenna, the variable capacitor an-
gles are memorized as a preset point for each fre-
quency range (100 kHz steps). Therefore, when you
change the frequency range, the variable capacitors
are automatically preset to the memorized point.
CAUTION:NEVERtransmit with the tuner ON
when no antenna is connected. This will damage
the transceiver. Be careful of the...
