VFO Not Retaining Memories


 

开云体育

VFO’s don’t remember anything. That is why you must save to memory. ?88.5 is the slowest tone on the radio so it is the default tone.?

Here's my issue: In VFO mode I set up a repeater with Tone and CTCSS of 151.4, then store it in memory. When I return to VFO, everything works fine. However, if, when in VFO mode, I tune to another frequency in that band and transmit, when I return to my original programmed repeater frequency, the CTCSS defaults back to 88.5 and I can no longer hit the repeater because of wrong CTCSS. I know I can just transmit from Memory mode (and that works fine--it holds all settings).

What am I missing?? Thanks.

Should read ‘lowest’. Damn autocorrect.?

I found this on and it does work. The manual for my new 60R does not have this verbiage, and the page content is different.? Go figure.

Data stored on memory channels can easily be moved to the VFO, if you like.
1. Select the memory channel containing the frequency data to be moved to the VFO.
2. Press the [ BAND ( BAND DN )] key momentarily to activate the "Memory Tune" fea-
ture temporarily, then press and hold in the [ BAND ( BAND DN )] key for one second.
The data will now have been copied to the VFO, although the original memory con-
tents will remain intact on the previously-stored channel.
If a Split Frequency Memory channel was transferred, the TX frequency will
be ignored (you will be set up for Simplex operation on the Receive frequency).
