8 MEMORY OPERATION I Memo pads The transceiver has a memo pad function to store frequency and operating mode for easy write and recall. The memo pads are separate from memory channels. [MP-W] [MP-R] The default number of memo pads is 5, however, this can be increased to 10 in set mode if desired. (p. 1216) Memo pads are convenient when you want to memorize a frequency and operating mode temporarily, such as when you find a DX station in a pile-up, or when a desired station is busy for a long time and you want to temporarily search for other stations. Use the transceiver's memo pads instead of relying on hastily scribbled notes that are easily misplaced. D Writing frequencies and operating modes into memo pads You can simply write the accessed readout frequency and operating mode by pushing [MP-W]. Newest When you write a 6th frequency and operating mode, the oldest written frequency and operating mode are automatically erased to make room for the new settings. Oldest Each memo pad must have its own unique combination of frequency and operating mode; memo pads having identical settings cannot be written. Erased In this example, 21.276 MHz (LSB) will be erased when 7.067 MHz (LSB) is written. D Calling up a frequency from a memo pad Newest MEMO PADS Oldest You can simply call up the desired frequency and operating mode of a memo pad by pushing [MP-R] several times. • Both VFO and memory modes can be used. • The frequency and operating mode are called up, starting from the most recently written. When you call up a frequency and an operating mode from memo pads with [MP-R], the previously displayed frequency and operating mode are automatically stored in a temporary pad. The frequency and operating mode in the temporary pad can be recalled by pushing [MP-R] several times. • You may think there are 6 memo pads because 6 different frequencies (5 are in memo pads and 1 is in the temporary pad) are called up by [MP-R]. If you change the frequency or operating mode called up from a memo pad with the main dial, etc., the frequency and operating mode in the temporary pad are erased. 8-7
