.
5. To display the frequency again, just repeat the above procedure.
6. When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
switch to save the setting and
exit to normal operation.
To display the frequency again on all memory channels, just repeat the above procedure,
rotating the
DIAL
knob or press the
[

/
[
q
]
key to select “
FREQ
” in step 4 above.
2) Direct Setting:
1. Set the
FT-252
to the “MR” (Memory Recall) mode, and recall the memory channel
on which you wish to enable the alpha-numeric Tag.
2. Press and hold the
[
F/MW
]
key for one second.
3. To display the frequency again, just repeat the above procedure.
This procedure is only applied directly to the memory channel on which you are cur-
rently operating (all other memory channels are unchanged).
Memory Offset Tuning
Once you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may easily tune off that chan-
nel, as though you were in the “VFO” mode.
1. With the
FT-252
in the “MR” (Memory Recall) mode, select the desired memory channel.
2. Press and hold the
[
REV
]
key for one second to activate the “Memory Tuning” fea-
ture. The Memory Channel number will be replaced by
“
tun
.” And if you have an alpha-numeric Tag displayed
on the memory channel, the display will automatically
revert to display of the operating frequency, so you can
navigate without having to enter the Menu to change the display conguration.
3. Rotate the
DIAL
knob, as desired, to tune to a new frequency. The synthesizer steps
selected for VFO operation will be the steps used during Memory Tuning.
4. If you wish to return to the original memory frequency, just press the
[
V/M
]
key mo-
mentarily. The display will revert to display of the alpha-numeric Tag (if any) that
may have originally appeared on the LCD.
5. If you wish to store a new frequency set during Memory Tuning, just press and hold
in the
[
F/MW
]
key for one second, per normal memory storage procedure. The mi-
croprocessor will automatically set itself to the next-available clear memory loca-
tion, and you then press
[
F/MW
]
again to lock in the new frequency.
1) If you want to replace the original memory contents with those of the new frequen-
cy, be sure to rotate the DIAL knob to the original memory channel number!
2) Any required CTCSS/DCS changes, or repeater offset modications, must be done
before storing the data into the new (or original) memory channel location.
