You may wish to append an alpha-numeric “Tag” (label) to a memory or memories, to aid in
recollection of the channel’s use (such as a club name, etc.). This is easily accomplished
using the Set Mode.
1.
Recall the memory channel on which you wish to append a label.
2.
Press the [
F/L
] key, then press the [
0
(
SET
)] key to enter the Set mode.
3.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Set Mode Item 29:
NM WRT
.
4.
Press the [
F/L
] key momentarily to display the previously
stored label (if any).
5.
Press the [
F/L
] key again to clear any previous label.
6.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the first digit of the desired
label.
7.
Press the [
F/L
] key to move to the next character.
8.
If you make a mistake, press the [
(
MHz
)] key to back-
space the cursor, then re-enter the correct letter, number, or
symbol.
9.
Repeat steps 5 through 7 to program the remaining letters,
numbers, or symbols of the desired label. A total of six characters
may be used in the creation of a label.
10. When you have programmed a label which is under 6 characters,
press and hold in the [
F/L
] key for one second to confirm the label (if the label is exactly 6
characters in length, you do not need to press and hold in [
F/L
] key).
11. When you have completed the creation of the label, press the
PTT
switch to save the label and return to the memory recall
mode with labeled (alpha-numeric “Tag”) display.
To disable the alpha-numeric Tag (and enable the frequency display):
1.
Set the
FT-270R
to the “MR” (Memory Recall) mode, and recall the memory channel
on which you wish to disable the alpha-numeric Tag.
2.
Press the [
F/L
] key, then press the [
6
(
A/N
)] key to activate the alpha-numeric Tag.
3.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to set this to “
FREQ
” (enabling the fre-
quency display).
4.
To display the alpha-numeric Tag again, just repeat the above
procedure.
5.
When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
switch to save the setting and exit
to normal operation.
To display the alpha-numeric Tag again, just repeat the above procedure, rotating the
DIAL
knob to select “
ALPHA
” in step 3 above.
This procedure is not applied to
all
memory channels at once (just the chan-
nel on which you currently are operating).
