To dial a frequency in 1 MHz steps press and hold down for one second either the up or down arrow key
on the front panel.
1. Press the front panel ▲/▼keys to the desired band.
2. Press the front panel ►to change the frequency.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to the desired frequency. (See the next section to change the Frequency
Step).
Changing the Frequency Step
1. Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to Menu Item “F41 STEP”.
3. Press the front panel ►key.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired step size:
5.00, 6.25, 8.33, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 50.0, 100.0, 200.0 KHz or AUTO.

radio will return to the VFO mode.
3. With five (5) seconds of pressing the small ►on the front panel, press it again, this time briefly,
to store the frequency displayed into the memory location. The “MIN” will disappear (since you
are operating in the VFO mode).

mode.
Programming the Offset
FTM-10R can memorize the following items with the frequency at the same time:
•Memory Group Information
•Alpha-numeric Memory Channel Tag
•Repeater Shift (Direction and Shift Frequency)
•CTCSS/DCS Squelch System and its frequency and code
•Transmit Output Power Level
•Scan Mode (Skip Scan or Preferential Scan)
•Frequency Step
•Semi-Diplex (Odd) frequency
•Receiving Mode (AM or FM)

The default of the radio is Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS). Therefore, you do not have to program the
repeater shift, or offset.
Memory Recall (p 34)
The FTM-10R has two methods of recalling memory. Group Memory Mode enables you to recall all the
Memory Channels and In-band Memory Mode enables you to recall only the memory channels which are
stored within the same operating band.
