r
Five QMB (Quick Memory Bank) channels,
providing one-touch storage and recall of prime
operating frequencies. The QMB channels are
labeled “C-1” through “C-5.”
r
Ten Split Frequency memory channels, used
for storing frequency settings when the trans-
mitter and receiver frequency are different. The
Split channels are labeled “d-01” through “d-
10.”
r
Eleven Call channels, for storage and quick
recall of one prime frequency on each ama-
teur band. These channels are labeled “S-01”
through “S-11.”
r
One set of band-edge memories, also known
as “Programmable Memory Scan” channels,
labeled “LO” and “HI.”
These memories do not just store away the operat-
ing frequency; thanks to the enhanced memory space
provided in the FT-920, the following data will be
stored into each memory channel:
r
Operating frequency
r
Operating mode (LSB, USB, CW, etc.)
r
Receiving filter bandwidth
r
Clarifier information (offset direction and mag-
nitude) except on PMS and CALL channels
r
Antenna jack selection
r
Automatic Antenna Tuner status (On/Off) ex-
cept on QMB and CALL channels
r
Repeater Shift information (except on QMB
and PMS channels)
r
Repeater CTCSS tone information (except on
QMB channels)
r
Alphanumeric Labels (except on QMB chan-
nels)
r
L
OCK
switch status (except on QMB channels)
Storage and recall of memory channels in the vari-
ous memory systems is quite straightforward, thanks
to the advanced ergonomic design of the FT-920.
These procedures are detailed below.
QMB Channel Programming/Recall
The QMB (Quick Memory Bank) memories are de-
signed for urgent operating situations where very
y
p
simple storage and recall procedures are desired.
QMB Channel Storage
While using VFO-A, tune in the desired frequency
on the Main Tuning Dial.
Press and hold in for ½ second the [QMB STO]
key until the double beep is heard. The double
beep provides audible confirmation that the
memory storage was successful.
As you dial up other frequencies in the VFO mode,
repeating the procedure in‚ above causes the QMB
memory system to cycle through the QMB chan-
nels in the following sequence:
C-1
Þ
C-2
Þ
C-3
Þ
C-4
Þ
C-5
Þ
C-1
Þ
C-2
Þ
....
Frequency data will be stored and purged on a
first-in, first-out basis.
QMB Channel Recall
Press the [QMB RCL] key to recall the currently-
active QMB channel. The “QMB” indicator on the
display will become illuminated.
Press the [QMB RCL] key repeatedly to cycle
ough the QMB channels, in the same sequence
as shown for QMB Channel Storage.
While operating in the QMB Channel Recall mode,
you are not “fixed” on the QMB channel; you may
tune away from the QMB channel frequency, us-
ing the Main Tuning Dial, as though you were in
the VFO mode. In this situation, the “QMB” indi-
cator will be replaced by one which indicates “M
TUNE.” To return to the originally-stored QMB
channel, press the [QMB RCL] key once.M
