[Kenwood] TM-261A Channel Naming

Fri, 22 Feb 2002 22:22:54 -0600

Tim,

My manual came with an addendum which says in part:

NAMING MEMORY CHANNELS (PAGE 30)

Use the following steps to store a name in memory:
1. Press [MR] to select Memory Recall.
2. Switch OFF the power to the transceiver.
3. Press [MN}+POWER ON.
	The transceiver enters the Memory Channel Select mode.
4. Turn the Tuning control, or press microphone [UP]/[DOWN], to 
select the desired memory channel.
5. Press [REV].
	The first digit blinks.
	To enter a dot after the first digit, press [MR].
	Pressing [MR] again clears the dot.
6. Turn the Tuning control, or press microphone [UP]/[DOWN], to 
select the first digit.
7. Press [MN].  The second digit blinks.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to enter up to 6 digits, then press [REV] to 
complete entry.
	To re-enter the preceding digit, press [VFO].
	You cannot enter a dot after the sixth digit.
	To subsequently name another memory channel, repeat steps 4 to 8 
without exiting the Memory Channel Select mode.
	To exit the Memory Channel Select mode, press [MHz],[F],[TONE], 
microphone [PTT], or microphone [PF].

Hope this helps.  It works fine on my two TM261A's.
