UNING
Once you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may easily tune off that channel,
as though you were in the VFO mode.
1. With the FT-2900R in the Memory Recall mode, select
the desired memory channel.
2. Press the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key momentarily. The “
MR ” indi-
cator will blink and the Memory Channel Number will dis-
appear; these indicates that the “Memory Tuning” mode
has been engaged.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob, or press the [ UP
] or [
DWN
] keys,
to tune to a new frequency. The synthesizer steps you have
selected for “VFO” operation will be the steps used during
Memory Tuning.
4. If you wish to return to the original memory frequency,
press the [
D/MR
(
MW
)] key momentarily. The “
MR
” indi-
cator will stop blinking and the Memory Channel Number
will reappear.
5. If you wish to store into memory a new frequency set during Memory Tuning, just press
and hold in the [ D/MR
(
MW
)] key for one second, then complete the normal memory
storage procedure. Be sure to select an open memory channel when doing so.

There may be situations where you want to “Mask” memories so they are not visible during
memory selection or scanning. For example, several memories used only in a city you visit
infrequently may be stored, then “Masked” until you visit that city, at which time you can
“Unmask” them for normal use. (except for Memory Channel “0,” the Priority Channel,
and the Home Channel).
1. With the FT-2900R in the Memory Recall mode, press and hold in the [ D/MR
(
MW
)]
key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the memory channel you wish to delete.
2. Press the [ LOW
(
A/N
)] key momentarily. The display will revert to memory channel
“0.” The previously-selected memory will be “masked.”
3. To Unmask a hidden memory, repeat the above procedure: press and hold in the [
D/
MR
(
MW
)] key for one second, rotate the
DIAL
to select the masked memory’s number,
then press the [
LOW
(
A/N
)] key to restore the memory channel’s data.
Watch out! You can manually store data over a “Masked” memory, deleting pre-
vious data, if you’re not careful. Use the “next available memory” technique (look
for the blinking memory channel number) storage technique to avoid over-writing a
masked memory.
