(Channel #C-01 to C-11)
The “C
ALL
” channels are easy-access memories
which may serve as convenient starting points for
operation. Many operators use them for quick recall
of favorite frequencies in each band.
There is no requirement that you assign one fre-
quency per band. However, the C
ALL
Channel fea-
ture includes a simple method of recalling these spe-
cial memories (described later) which involves the
pressing of one of the [B
AND
] keys. Therefore, the
procedure for storing memories band-by-band will be
described below for illustrative purposes.
Storing Data in C
ALL
Channels

While operating on VFO-A, select the “favorite fre-
quency” you wish to have stored as your “C
ALL
”
frequency on the current band.
‚
Press the [V
u
M] key once momentarily; the
“M CK” indicator will blink, and the frequency store
in the current memory channel will be shown in
the VFO-B display area.
ƒ
Now press either the [U
P
p
] or [D
OWN
q
] key (or
use the VFO-B Tuning Dial by pressing the
[M
EM
C
H
] key first) to select the C
ALL
Channel
memory assigned to the band currently in use.
See the table below for a listing of the bands and
their assigned memory locations for the C
ALL
Channel function. The C
ALL
Channels are as-
signed memory locations “C-01” through “C-11.”
„
Next, press and hold in the [V
u
M] key for ½
second (until you hear the double beep) to lock
the frequency into the chosen memory location.
You may now repeat this process for the other
C
ALL
Channels, preferably assigning one such
channel per band.
Note: Channel “C-10” already is programmed (at
the factory) with the following frequency:
C-10: 51.000.00MHz (FM)
Recall of C
ALL
Channel Memories

Whether in VFO or Memory operation, recall of
C
ALL
Channels is very easy. Just press and hold
in the [S
TEP
] key (below and to the left of the VFO-
A Tuning Dial) and press the [B
AND
] key (on the
keypad) corresponding to the desired band.
For example, to recall the 40-meter C
ALL
Chan-
nel, press and hold in [S
TEP
], then press the
[7 MHz] key while you are holding in [S
TEP
]. To
recall the 12-meter C
ALL
Channel, press and hold
in [S
TEP
] and press [24.5 MHz].
Note: If you are operating in the “Memory Tune”
mode, activating the C
ALL
Channel system will
cancel the Memory Tune function, and place the
transceiver directly into the Memory mode.
‚
Since the C
ALL
Channels are not segregated into
an isolated memory band, like the QMB memo-
ries, you also may access these memories via the
[U
P
p
] and [D
OWN
q
] keys, or via the VFO-B Tun-
ing Dial, as with “regular” memories.
ƒ
When operating on a C
ALL
Channel, it is possible
to utilize the Memory Tune mode in a manner simi-
lar to that used on “regular” memories. Just ro-
tate the VFO-A Tuning Dial, as desired, to tune
off of the pre-programmed C
ALL
Channel fre-
quency. The new frequency may be stored in an-
other memory, if desired, as described on page
60.
To cancel Memory Tune operation, press the
[VFO/M
EM
] key once (or press and hold in [S
TEP
]
and press another [B
AND
] key for another C
ALL
Channel).
