Labeling Memories
You may wish to append an Alphanumeric “Tag” (label) to a memory or memories, to aid in recollection of the chan-
nel’s use (such as a club name, etc.). To do this:
1. Press the
V/M
button, if necessary, to enter the
“Memory Mode”.
2. Press and hold in the
F(M-LIST)
button.
The data stored in the currently selected memory
channel will be displayed on the TFT.
3. Rotate the
MULTI
knob to recall the memory chan-
nel that you wish to append a label.
4. Touch [
TAG
] on the LCD.
A blinking cursor will appear on the first digit.
5. Touch a key on the LCD to enter the letters, num-
bers, or symbols of the desired label.
6. Repeat step 5 to program the remaining letters, num-
bers, or symbols of the desired label. 18 characters
may be used in the creation of a label.
Use
[
] and [
] on the LCD to set the cursor posi-
tion and [
t
] on the LCD to erase a letter at the left
of the cursor.
7. When you have completed the creation of the label,
touch [
ENT
] on the LCD.
8. Press the
F(M-LIST)
button to save the new setting
and return to normal operation.
Checking a Memory Channel Status
Before programming a channel into memory, you can check the current contents of that channel without the danger of
over-writing the channel accidentally.
1. Press the
A
M
button momentarily.
The data stored in the currently selected memory
channel will be displayed on the TFT. However,
since you are only checking the contents of the
memory channel, your radio will not have moved to
the memory channel frequency.
2. Rotate the
MULTI
knob to select a different memory
channel. To exit from the Memory Check mode,
press the
A
M
button momentarily once more.

While operating in the VFO mode, using Memory
Check, you may store the current VFO frequency
into the selected memory by pressing and holding
in the
A
M
button for one second (until the double
beep). Conversely, if you wish to write the contents
of the current memory into the VFO-A register, press
the
V/M
button.
