TO
THE
VFO
Data stored on memory channels can easily be moved to the VFO, if you like.
1. Select the memory channel containing the frequency data to be moved to the VFO.
2. Press the [
F/W
] key, then press the [
V/M
(
DW
)
MT
] key to activate the “Memory Tune”
feature temporarily, then press the [
F/W
] key, followed by the [ (
LK
)
TXPO
] key.
The data will now have been copied to the VFO, although the original memory con-
tents will remain intact on the previously-stored channel.
If a Split Frequency Memory channel was transferred, the TX frequency will be ig-
nored (you will be set up for Simplex operation on the Receive frequency).

There may be situations where you want to “Mask” memories so they are not visible
during memory selection or scanning. For example, several memories used only in a city
you visit infrequently may be stored, then “Masked” until you visit that city, at which time
you can “Unmask” them for normal use.
1. Press the [
V/M
(
DW
)
MT
] key, if needed, to enter the MR mode.
2. Press and hold in the [
F/W
] key for one second, then rotate the
DIAL
knob to select
the memory channel to be “Masked.”
3. Press the [ (
LK
)
TXPO
] key momentarily. The display will revert to memory chan-
nel #1. The previously-selected memory will be Masked.
4. To Unmask the hidden memory, repeat the above procedure: press and hold in the [
F/
W
] key for one second, rotate the
DIAL
to select the masked memory’s number, then
press the [ (
LK
)
TXPO
] key to restore the memory channel’s data.
Watch out! You can manually store data over a “Masked” memory, deleting
previous data, if you’re not careful. Use the “next available memory” tech-
nique (look for the blinking memory channel number) storage technique to
avoid over-writing a masked memory.

Once memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in a
“Memory Only” mode, whereby VFO operation is impossible. This may be particularly
useful during public-service events, where a number of operators may be using the radio
for first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired.
To place the radio into the Memory Only mode, turn the radio off. Now,
press and hold in
the [
V/M
(
DW
)
MT
]
key while turning the radio on. To return to normal operation, repeat
the above power-on procedure.
