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 club name, etc.). This is easily accomplished
using the Set (Menu) mode.
1. Recall the memory channel on which you wish to append a
label.
2. Press and hold in the [
MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second, then
rotate the
DIAL
knob to select “

.”
3. Press the [
MHz
(
SET
)] key. You will notice the first char-
acter location blinking, indicating that you are now in the
Alpha-Numeric (“A/N”) entry mode. Within the A/N entry
mode, rotate the
DIAL
knob to select
characters
; pressing
the [

entry loca-
tion
to the right.
4. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the desired number, letter,
or symbol, then press the [
LOW
(
A/N

next character’s location. Move two slots if you want to put
in a space. Press the [

5. Repeat step 4, as necessary, to complete the name tag (up to
six characters) for your memory, then press the [

key momentarily to save the A/N name just entered.
6. Press and hold in the [
MHz

)] key for one second to exit to normal operation.
While operating in the Memory Recall mode, press and hold in
the [

(
A/N
)] key for one second to toggle the display be-
tween indication of the frequency and the channel’s Alpha/Nu-
meric label.
