If the desired memory channel is not immediately displayed
it may be RECALLED by keying in the required location.
To recall memory channel “

there
is no need to press

Memory channel review / hunt
The
MAIN DIAL
or
keys may be used to
review, hunt for and select memory channels which contain
data (even those which have been assigned PASS so
that they will be skipped during SCAN)... channels which
contain no data will be skipped. The
SUB DIAL
changes
the BANK NUMBER selecting the first or last channel
number in each bank (depending on the direction the
control is rotated), again any empty memory channels will
be skipped.
Summary: From VFO mode press
to enter
memory recall (the “BANK” legend in the top right of the
LCD without the legend “SCAN” confirms operation).
Rotate the
MAIN DIAL
or key in the three digit memory
location (using the numeric keypad) to select the required
memory channel.
This is a useful tool for reviewing memory contents and
hunting for a specific channel when you forget what you
stored where! Should you know the number of the
required memory channel, the keypad method of memory
recall will be much faster.
The receiver will monitor whatever memory channel is
displayed while in memory recall mode.
7-3 Transfer of memory channel to VFO
Should you wish to tune away from the memory channel
and benefit from not having to re-enter the frequency,
mode, attenuator setting, channel step and step-adjust,
the data may be quickly transferred from memory to
VFO-E which has been assigned this task.
Transfer to VFO-E: To transfer the displayed memory
data to VFO-E simply press
. The legend “
VE
VE
VE
VE
VE
”
will be displayed on the right of the LCD to confirm
operation, all data will be transferred. You may now tune
using the
MAIN DIAL
,
SUB DIAL
or
keys.
7-4 Changing and deleting memory data
There will come a time when you have entered many
frequencies into the memory banks and may wish to
change the data contained (change frequencies,
comments or modes etc).
Memory over-write
The easiest way to change the memory channel contents
is simply to key new data over the top as shown in section
7-1 of this manual.
For example, let’s assume that you wish to store a new
frequency of 92.7 MHz into memory bank “
1
1
1
1
1
” location
“
00
00
00
00
00
” (100) which has been previously used to store 88.3
MHz.
Start by selecting VFO mode then key in the frequency of
92.7 MHz, mode and step size are set to their defaults by
AUTOMODE.
to place the receiver into VFO mode.
to select the desired frequency.
Press and hold the
key for more than one second
to enter memory input mode.
Press
to over-write the
previous data.
At any time you may abort memory input by pressing the
key, the display will return to VFO mode.
Editing memory data
To edit memory data (frequency, mode, attenuator, text
comment etc) it is necessary to transfer the data to
VFO-E where it may be edited then saved back to the
original or new memory location.
For example: Let’s assume that memory channel “
123
123
123
123
123
”
has the frequency of 119.65 MHz stored, all operational
data has been taken care of by automode (mode, step
size etc) and the text comment is “
TEST123
TEST123
TEST123
TEST123
TEST123
” but
you wish to change the text comment.
From VFO mode press
to enter memory recall
mode.
Select memory location 123 by typing
Transfer the data to VFO-E by pressing the
key.
VFO-E now contains the data from memory location
“
123
123
123
123
123
”.
Press and hold the
key for more than one second
to enter memory write mode.
The frequency readout will alternate between the displayed
frequency you wish to store and a memory location (not
memory location “
123
123
123
123
123
” but the first available empty
memory).
Key in
to select memory location 123 for
storage. As the stored frequency and frequency to be
stored are the same, the frequency readout will stop
flashing. The legend “- - >” and “< - - “ confirms that
memory location 123 is to be over-written with data.
