[. . . ] You may jump 100 memory channels, if you're in a hurry (101 à 201 à 301 . . . ), by pressing the [H/L] key (multiple times, if necessary). Any channel that you see with a blinking channel number currently has no data written on it (i. e. You still will be operating in the "VFO" mode, so you may now enter other frequencies, and store them into additional memory locations, by repeating the above process. You may change the automatic memory channel selection feature to select the "next-highest memory channel above the last-stored memory channel" instead of the "next-available `free' channel" via the Set Mode Item 27: MW MODE; see page 68. Storing Independent Transmit Frequencies ("Odd Splits") All memories can store an independent transmit frequency, for operation on repeaters with non-standard shift. Store the receive frequency using the method already described under MEMORY STORAGE (it doesn't matter if a repeater offset is active). Turn to the desired transmit frequency, then press and hold in the [F/W] key for one second. Within five seconds of releasing the [F/W] key, rotate the DIAL knob to select the same memory channel number as used in step "1" above. Press and hold in the PTT switch, then press the [F/W] key once more momentarily while holding the PTT switch in (this does not key the transmitter). Whenever you recall a memory which contains independently-stored transmit and receive frequencies, the " " indication will appear in the display. .

Be sure to set up any desired CTCSS or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset. The power level may also be set at this time, if you wish to store it. While the memory channel number is blinking, just press the [HM/RV] key. The frequency and other data (if any) will now be stored in the special HOME channel register. To recall the HOME channel, press and hold in the [HM/RV] key for one second while operating either in the VFO or MR mode. The UHF HOME channel is the one used during "Emergency" operation. See page 31 for details regarding this feature.
