Question
What is a way to enable quick access to a favorite frequency or frequencies on your transceiver?
Answer Options
- A) Enable the frequency offset
- B) Store the frequency in a memory channel
- C) Disable the CTCSS tone
- D) Use the scan mode to lock out the frequency
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Modern transceivers have internal computer memory, allowing the operator to save frequently used operating parameters. The easiest and most common way to enable quick access to a preferred frequency or a repeater setting is to store the frequency in a memory channel.
Memory channels typically store the frequency, the offset (T2A07), and any required CTCSS tone (T2B02) or other digital codes. This allows the operator to quickly switch between favorite repeaters or simplex frequencies with the press of a button or the turn of a memory knob.
