24REVERSE FUNCTIONThe reverse function exchanges a separate receive and
transmit 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 stationÕs signal is
strong, both stations should move to a simplex frequency
and free up the repeater.
Press [REV] to switch the Reverse function ON (or
OFF).¥  ÒRÓ appears when the function is ON.Note:u
If pressing [REV] places the transmit frequency outside the allowable
range, then pressing the PTT switch causes an error beep to sound;
transmission is inhibited.
u
If pressing [REV] places the receive frequency outside the allowable
range, an error beep sounds and no reversal occurs.
u
Automatic Repeater Offset does not function while Reverse is ON.
u
You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.
AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK (ASC)While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the
strength of a signal that you receive directly from the
other station.  If the stationÕs signal is strong enough to
allow direct contact without a repeater, the ASC indicator
on the display begins blinking.
Press [REV] (1 s) to switch the function ON.¥Ò
Ó appears when the function is ON.
¥ While direct contact is possible, the ASC indicator blinks.
¥ To quit the function, press [REV] momentarily.
Note:u
Pressing the PTT switch causes the ASC indicator to quit blinking.
u
ASC does not function if your transmit and receive frequencies are
the same (simplex operation).
u
ASC does not function while scanning.
u
Activating ASC while using Reverse switches Reverse OFF.
u
If you recall a memory channel or the Call channel that contains
Reverse ON status, ASC is switched OFF.
u
ASC causes receive audio to be momentarily intermitted every 3
seconds.

MEMORY CHANNELS
In memory channels, you can store frequencies and
related data that you often use.  Then you need not
reprogram those data every time.  You can quickly recall
a programmed channel by simple operation.  A total of
200 memory channels are available for bands A and B.SIMPLEX & REPEATER OR ODD-SPLIT MEMORY
CHANNEL?You can use each memory channel as a simplex &
repeater channel or odd-split channel.  Store only one
frequency to use as a simplex & repeater channel or two
separate frequencies to use as an odd-split channel.
Select either application for each channel depending on
the operations you have in mind.
Simplex & repeater channel allows:¥ Simplex frequency operation
¥ Repeater operation with a standard offset
(If an offset direction is stored)Odd-split channel allows:¥ Repeater operation with a non-standard offsetNote:u
Not only can you store data in memory channels, but you can also
overwrite existing data with new data.
u
If you have recalled a memory channel on the non-current band
(A or B), you cannot select the same channel on the current band to
program data.
