Memory Channel Recall
1. If you currently are in the VFO tuning mode, press the
V/M
key once to enter the “Memory” mode (a memory
channel number “
M-nnn
” will appear on the display in
the space previously occupied by “
VFOa
” or “
VFOb
”).
2. To select another memory channel, turn the
MEM/VFO
CH
knob.
3. When your memory channels are partitioned into
Memory Groups via Menu Mode
No-055
[
MEM
GROUP
]
, it is easy to change Memory Groups; press the
MEM/VFO CH
knob momentarily (a Group Number
(“
Ma
” ~ “
Mj
”) will blink), then turn the
MEM/VFO CH
knob to step through the channels until you enter an-
other. You may now press the
MEM/VFO CH
knob once
more to restrict memory channel access to the newly-
selected Group.
4. Once you are operating on a memory channel, you may
tune off of the originally-memorized frequency (as though
you were in the VFO mode). Just rotate the
DIAL
knob;
the “Memory Channel Number” will be replaced by one
which indicates “
MTUNE
,” indicating that you have now
shifted into the “Memory Tuning” mode. When operat-
ing the Memory Tuning mode, if you find another fre-
quency you wish to store into another memory channel,
just press the [
A
](
MW
) key momentarily, select a new
memory channel via the
MEM/VFO CH
knob, then press
and hold in the [
A
](
MW
) key until you hear the double
beep.
5. To exit the Memory Tuning mode, press the
V/M
key as
follows:
•
One touch of the
V/M
key returns you to the original
memory frequency.
•
A second touch of the
V/M
key will cause you to exit
the Memory mode and return to the VFO mode (the
memory channel number will be replaced by “
VFOa
”
or “
VFOb
”.
When operating on a “Split” frequency
memory, a special “– +“ indication will appear
on the LCD.
Masking (“Hiding”) a Memory
Frequency data stored on a memory channel can be deleted,
if desired, from any memory channel except channel “1.”
The deletion process is not a “hard” erasure, so if you erase
a channel by mistake using this procedure, the memory chan-
nel contents can be recovered.
1. Press the [
F
] key momentarily, then rotate the
MEM/
VFO CH
knob, as needed, until Multi Function Row
“b” [
MW
,
SKIP
,
TAG
] appears on the display.
2. Press the [
A
](
MW
) key momentarily, then rotate the
MEM/VFO CH
knob to select the memory channel to
be deleted.
3. Press the [
B
](
MCLR
) key momentarily. The frequency
display field on the LCD will go blank, and the memory
channel number will blink.
4. Wait about five seconds; when the memory channel num-
ber stops blinking, the data will now be “masked” and
will not be available for operation.
5. To restore the masked frequency data, repeat the above
steps. However, if you store new frequency information
on a channel containing masked data, the masked data
will be over-written and lost.
6. Memory Channel 1 is used for Priority operation, and
frequency information may only be over-written (not
masked) on this channel.
