2380 116th Ave NE Bellevue, WA 98004 425.454.7619 How do I program memory channels in my IC-706MKII? This programming method uses the radio front panel. Before you program a memory channel, you’ll need to know the following: • Desired operating frequency • Offset direction for repeater operation (if applicable) • Subaudible tone frequency for repeater operation (if applicable) Verify Duplex Settings 1. With the radio off, hold down the LOCK key and then press the POWER key to enter the initial set mode. Release both keys after the radio turns on. 2. Press BAND▲ or BAND▼ to select the menu options. Ensure that 15 QUICK SPLIT is on. Ensure that the proper offset under 17 DUP OFFSET is set. For example: if you repeater has a -.600 MHz offset for the TX frequency, you would set 17 DUP OFFSET to -.600. 3. Press POWER to turn the radio off and exit the set mode. Press POWER again to turn the radio back on. Entering Frequency, Offset, and Tone 1. Press DISPLAY to select the M menu list. Press MENU to scroll and select M2. 2. Press F-3 (V/M) until you have selected VFO mode. VFO A or VFO B appears on the display; either mode will work. If the radio displays VFO B, press the MENU key to select the M1 menu and then the F-2 (A/B) key to select VFO A. 3. Press BAND▲ or BAND▼ to select the desired band. 4. Rotate the tuning dial to select the desired frequency. Press MODE to select FM mode (displayed at the top). 5. To set your offset or duplex (for repeater operation), Press MENU and scroll through the menus until you have selected the M1 menu. 6. Press the F-1 (SPL) key for 2 seconds to activate the quick split feature. SPL will appear at the top right of the screen and the radio will beep twice. The quick split is now set to the offset you selected in step 2 of Verify Duplex Settings (17 DUP OFFSET). If needed, you can change the TX frequency by pressing and holding the F-3 (XFC) key and adjusting with the tuning dial. The offset appears in the lower part of the display. Note: If you are programming a simplex frequency or repeater frequency that does not require a sub-audible tone, skip to Saving Settings in a Memory Channel. 7. If the repeater requires a sub-audible tone, Press the MENU key to select the M1 menu. 8. Press the F-2 key to select VFO B.
