MEMORY OPERATION
■
Memo pads
The transceiver has a memo pad function to store fre-
quency and operating mode for easy write and recall.
The memo pads are separate from memory channels.
The default number of memo pads is 5, however,
this can be increased to 10 in set mode if desired.
(p. 12-15)
Memo pads are convenient when you want to memo-
rize a frequency and operating mode temporarily,
such as when you find a DX station in a pile-up, or
when a desired station is busy for a long time and you
want to temporarily search for other stations.
Use the transceiver’s memo pads instead of relying
on hastily scribbled notes that are easily misplaced.

Writing frequencies and operating modes into memo pads
You can store the readout frequency and operating
mode by pushing
MP-W
.
When you store a 6th frequency and operating mode,
the oldest stored frequency and operating mode are
automatically erased to make room for the new set-
tings.
Each memo pad must have its own unique com-
bination of frequency and operating mode; memo
pads having identical settings cannot be written.
D
Calling up a frequency from a memo pad
You can call up the desired frequency and operating
mode of a memo pad by pushing
MP-R
several
times.
• Both VFO and memory modes can be used.
• The frequency and operating mode are called up, starting
from the most recently written.
When you call up a frequency and an operating mode
from memo pads with
MP-R
, the previously dis-
played frequency and operating mode are automati-
cally stored in a temporary pad. The frequency and
operating mode in the temporary pad can be recalled
by pushing
MP-R
several times.
• You may think there are 6 memo pads because 6 different
frequencies (5 are in memo pads and 1 is in the tempo-
rary pad) are called up by
MP-R
.
If you change the frequency or operating mode
called up from a memo pad with the main dial, etc.,
the frequency and operating mode in the temporary
pad are erased.

In this example, 21.276 MHz (USB) will be
erased when 7.067 MHz (LSB) is written.
