10 MEMORY FEATURES ■ Confirming Start/ End Frequencies Use this procedure to check the start and end frequencies that you stored in channels P0 to P9. 1 Press [M/V] to enter Memory Recall mode. 2 Turn the MULTI/CH control or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to select a memory channel from P0 to P9. 3 Press [A/B (A=B)] to check the start frequency, then press [A/B (A=B)] again to check the end frequency. ■ Programmable VFO Using the start and end frequencies that you stored in channels P0 to P9, Programmable VFO restricts the frequency range that you can tune with the Tuning control. One application of this function is to help you operate within the authorized frequency limits of your license. 1 Press [M/V] to enter Memory Recall mode. 2 Turn the MULTI/CH control or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to select a memory channel from P0 to P9. You can now only tune from the start frequency to the end frequency, using the Tuning control. Note: Pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN] or turning the MULTI/ CH control changes the memory channel number while in Programmable VFO mode. MEMORY CHANNEL LOCKOUT You can lock out memory channels that you prefer not to monitor during Memory Scan. Memory Scan is described in the next chapter {page 48}. 1 Press [M/V] to enter Memory Recall mode. 2 Turn the MULTI/CH control or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to select the desired memory channel. 3 Press [CLR]. • Do not hold down the [CLR] key. Holding [CLR] for more than approximately 2 seconds will erase the contents of the memory channel. • A dot appears beside the right-most digit of the memory channel number to indicate the channel has been locked out. • Repeatedly pressing [CLR] toggles between adding and removing the channel from the scan list. ERASING MEMORY CHANNELS If there are memory channels that you will not recall in the future, you may prefer erasing the contents of those channels. 1 Press [M/V] to enter Memory Recall mode. 2 Turn the MULTI/CH control or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to select the desired memory channel. • You can also select a channel by entering a 2-digit number. Press [ENT], [7 (3)], [10 (4)] for example. 3 Press and hold [CLR]. • A long beep sounds to confirm that the channel data has been erased. MEMORY CHANNEL NAME You can assign a name to each memory channel, with a maximum of 8 alpha-numeric characters. Note: You cannot name the Quick Memory channels. 1 Press [M/V] to enter Memory Recall mode. 2 Turn the MULTI/CH control or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to select a memory channel. 3 Press [Q-MR]. 4 Turn the MULTI/CH control or press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select the desired alpha-numeric character. You can move the cursor to the left by pressing [Q-M.IN], or to the right by pressing [Q-MR]. Press [CL] to erase the character at the cursor. 5 After selecting all the necessary characters for the memory channel name, press [MENU] to store the name. 6 When you recall a memory channel with a name, the name is displayed on the sub-display along with the memory channel number. Available alphanumeric characters: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q(q) R S T U V W X Y Z (space) + - / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 QUICK MEMORY Quick Memory is designed to quickly and temporarily save data without specifying a particular memory channel. Use Quick Memory to store data you will not use in future operating sessions. For example, as you tune across the band looking for DX, it is convenient to store stations that you want to contact. You can quickly jump between several different memory channels as you monitor them. Quick Memory channels can store the following data: VFO A frequency and operating mode VFO B frequency and operating mode RIT ON/ OFF XIT ON/ OFF RIT/ XIT offset frequency FINE ON/ OFF Noise Blanker ON/ OFF DSP Beat Cancel OFF/ 1/ 2 46
