6 MEMORY CHANNELS MEMORY CHANNEL GROUPS 400 memory channels have been divided into 8 groups of 50. Group 0 contains memory channel numbers 0 ~ 49, group 1 is 50 ~ 99, group 2 is 100 ~ 149, and so on. You can categorize each group to store similar data, same frequency bands or same modes for ease of use. Group # Memory Channel Group # Memory Channel Group 0 0 ~ 49 Group 4 200 ~ 249 Group 1 50 ~ 99 Group 5 250 ~ 299 Group 2 100 ~ 149 Group 6 300 ~ 349 Group 3 150 ~ 199 Group 7 350 ~ 399 RECALLING A MEMORY CHANNEL USING MEMORY GROUP FUNCTION It is sometimes a tedious endeavor to scroll through 400 memory channels sequentially. However, using a Group memory recall function, you can access your desired memory channel numbers more quickly. 1 Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode. 2 While pressing and holding [LAMP], turn the Tuning control to select a group. • Each click of the Tuning control, the lowest memory channel number of each group is recalled. For example, if you have the following memory channels that contain data: Group # Memory Channels that Contain Data Group 0 0 2 10 15 30 45 Group 1 50 61 65 78 98 Group 2 103 111 123 Group 3 152 166 Group 4 Group 5 260 280 Group 6 305 322 333 345 Group 7 399 Memory channels 0, 50, 103, 152, 260, 305, 399, and then 0 are recalled sequentially while pressing and holding [LAMP]. 3 Release [LAMP] and turn the Tuning control to select the desired memory channels within the selected group. Note: If you have configured Menu No. 3 (MR METHOD) as "CURRENT BAND" {page 16}, only memory channels that have the same frequency band data are recalled. ERASING MEMORY CHANNELS USING MEMORY GROUP DELETE FUNCTION Instead of erasing each unnecessary channel one by one, you can erase an entire group of memory channels at once. For example, if you erase group 2 memory channels, all the data in memory channels 100 ~ 149 are erased. 1 Press [MR]. • Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select a memory channel in the group you want to erase (for example, memory channel No. 111, in Group 2). 2 Press [ ] (POWER) to turn the transceiver OFF. 3 Press [MHz]+[ ] (POWER). • An erase confirmation message appears. 4 Press [MR] ([ ] or [MNU]) to proceed. Otherwise, press any other key to cancel the erase. MEMORY CHANNEL TRANSFER MEMORY \ VFO TRANSFER After retrieving frequencies and associated data from Memory Recall mode, you can copy the data to the VFO. This function is useful, for example, when the frequency you want to monitor is near the frequency stored in a memory channel. 1 Press [MR], then turn the Tuning control to recall a desired memory channel. 2 Press [F], [VFO] to copy the memory channel data to the VFO. Note: x To copy an odd-split channel data {page 15}, turn the Reverse function ON {page 14} before performing the transfer. x You can also transfer the Program Scan memory channels (L0/U0 ~ L9/U9), Priority Channels (Pr1 and Pr2), and Information Channels (I-0 ~ I-9) to the VFO. CHANNEL \ CHANNEL TRANSFER You can also copy channel information from one memory channel to another. This function is useful when storing frequencies and associated data that you temporarily change in Memory Recall mode. 1 Press [MR], then turn the Tuning control to recall a desired memory channel. 2 Press [F]. 3 Select the memory channel where you would like the data copied, using the Tuning control. 4 Press [MR] ([ ] or [MNU]). 18
