Wanted to start a fresh thread for the purpose of capturing key facets of programming this radio. While some information may be covered elsewhere, I thought it would not hurt to repost and consolidate here.
—— Duplicating an Existing Memory Channel Configuration
1. Put your radio into channel mode. The active receiver area of the display should display a channel number (e.g. CH-014) in the upper right corner of the active receiver area.
2. Select the channel you want to duplicate.
3. Press [Menu]+[3]+[8]+[Menu]. Some channel number will appear.
4. Scroll to (or direct enter) the memory channel you wish to receive the configuration.
5. Press [Menu]+[Exit] to commit/save your selection. You now have duplicated an existing channel configuration.
6. Scroll to (or direct enter) the memory channel you just added.
7. Press [Menu]+[3]+[7]+[Menu] to activate the channel naming function.
8. Enter your desired name for the new memory channel by using the channel up arrow to scroll through all available characters and symbol choices, and the down arrow to scroll through each character position. Once the name is as you desire, continue to next step.
9. Press [Menu]+[Exit] to save and view your final name appearance.
10. Change the CTCSS and DCS codes on the channel to suit.
—— Creating a new Repeater Channel from Scratch.
1. Put your radio into VFO mode. No channel numbers (e.g. CH-014) should appear in the upper right corner of the active receiver area.
2. Scroll to (or direct enter) the repeater frequency you wish to use.
3. Press [Menu]+[4]+[Menu]+[1]+[Menu]. This tells the channel to operate duplex for use with a repeater.
4. Set the CTCSS and DCS codes to suit for the repeater you’re using.
5. Press [Menu]+[3]+[Menu]+[1]+[Menu]+[Exit]. This sets the radio to Wide-band to work best with the repeaters.
6. Press [Menu]+[3]+[8]+[Menu]. Some channel number will appear.
7. Scroll to (or direct enter) the memory channel number you wish to receive the configuration.
8. Press [Menu]+[Exit] to commit/save your selection. You now have a fresh memory channel created and available to use.
9. Put your radio into channel mode.
10. Scroll to (or direct enter) the memory channel you just added.
11. Press [Menu]+[3]+[7]+[Menu] to activate the channel naming function.
12. Enter your desired name for the new channel by using the channel up arrow to scroll through all available characters and symbol choices, and the down arrow to scroll through each character position. Once the name is as you desire, continue to next step.
13. Press [Menu]+[Exit] to save and view your final name appearance. You have now created and named a completely new, from scratch, repeater channel for your radio.
