Memory Bank Operation
The large number of memories available in the
FT-2980R/E
could be difficult to utilize
without some means of organizing them. Fortunately, the FT-2980R/E includes provision
for dividing the memories into as many as eight Memory Banks, so you can categorize
the memories in a manner convenient to you. You may enter and exit the “Memory Bank”
mode by a single press of the Microphone’s [

] key, as we shall see below.
Assigning Memories to a Memory Bank
1. Recall the memory channel to be assigned to a Memory
Bank.
2. Press and hold in the [ D/MR
(
MW
)] key for one second,
then rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Bank
number (“
b1
” ~ “
b8
”) you want as the Memory Bank for
this channel. The Memory Bank numbers are found by
rotating the DIAL knob counter-clockwise past memory
channel “0”.
3. Press the [ D/MR
(
MW
)] key momentarily to copy the memory channel data into the
Memory Bank.
1) You may assign one memory channel into several Memory Banks.
2) The PMS memory channels (L0/U0 through L9/U9) may not be assigned
to a Memory Bank.
Memory Bank Recall
1. Press the [ D/MR
(
MW
)] key, if needed, to enter the Memory
mode.
2. Press the Microphone’s [

] key to activate the “Memory
Bank” mode. The Memory Bank number will appear on
the display.
3. Press the [ #
] key to increment the Memory Bank (“
b1
”
through “
b8
”).
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the memories within
the selected Bank; you will observe that you can only
select memory channels in the current memory bank.
The small memory bank number will appear, to the right
of the frequency display, two seconds after you com-
plete memory channel selection while operating within a
Memory Bank.
5. To change to another Memory Bank, press the [ #
] key to
step up to the next-highest bank.
6. To exit from Memory Bank operation, just press the
Microphone’s [

] key. The Memory Channel number
will appear steadily on the right side of the display,
indicating that you are now in the “standard” Memory
Recall mode, without utilization of the Memory Banks.
The memories stored in the various Banks will remain in
those banks, however; you do not need to store them again.
