Naming and Displaying Memories
You can append to stored memories an Alpha/Numeric tag (up to seven charac-
ters), to provide an easy reminder as to a particular frequency’s function.
To name a memory:
1. Recall the memory to be named.
2. Press and hold in the key for one second, then rotate the
M
AIN
D
IAL
knob to select “
0 2 A L P H c
.”
3. You will notice the first entry position blinking. While it is blinking, press the
key or key to select the first character of the memory’s name,
then press the key to move on to the next character to the right.
4. Press the key or key to select thenext character, then press the
key to move on to the next character’s slot.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, as necessary, to complete a name tag for your memory,
then press and hold the key for 1.5 second to save the Alpha/Numeric
name and exit to normal operation.
To turn on the memory name display:
1. Press and hold in the key for one second, then rotate the
M

knob to select “

2. Press the key to change the display to “

(not the frequency) appears on the LCD.

in step 2 above. Each memory channel may have its Alpha/Numeric On/Off status
set independently.
Loading a Memory into the VFO
You can easily select a memory and use that frequency as a starting point for VFO
operation.
1. Recall the memory channel of the frequency you wish to copy to the VFO.
2. Press and hold in the
M

IAL
knob for one second. The radio will switch to
the VFO mode, and it will be operating on the frequency of the memory channel
you just left. You may now tune freely without having affected the original
memory contents.
Note that the previous VFO frequency will be overwritten by this action.
