NUMBER OF QUICK MEMORY CHANNELS This transceiver provides up to 10 Quick Memory channels. You can adjust the number of available channels by accessing Menu No. 17 and selecting "3", "5" (default), or "10". STORING INTO QUICK MEMORY Each time you store a new frequency, all previously stored frequencies are bumped to the next respective Quick Memory channel. When all 10 memory channels contain frequencies, storing one more frequency bumps the contents of memory channel 9 off the stack (the data is lost). The following diagram illustrates how the Quick Memory stacks the data in memory each time you press [Q-M.IN].

Note: When RIT or XIT is ON, the ON status and the offset will also be stored. 10 MEMORY FEATURES RECALLING QUICK MEMORY CHANNELS You can recall a Quick Memory channel only when you operate the transceiver in VFO mode. 1 Press [Q-MR]. • The current memory channel number appears. • If there is no data stored in any Quick Memory channel, the data cannot be recalled to the current VFO; an error beep sounds. 2 Turn the MULTI/CH control to select a Quick Memory channel. • You cannot change memory channels while transmitting. 3 To exit, press [Q-MR] again. Note: Memory channels cannot be changed while using the TF-SET function. TEMPORARY FREQUENCY CHANGES After recalling a Quick Memory channel, you can temporarily change the data without overwriting the contents of the channel. You can change the frequency even when you select "oFF" in Menu No. 18. 1 Press [Q-MR]. 2 Turn the MULTI/CH control to select a Quick Memory channel. 3 Change the frequencies and associated data. 4 To store the changed data in the Quick Memory, press [Q-M.IN]. • This action stores the new data in the current channel and bumps the old frequency to the next higher Quick Memory channel. 5 To exit, press [Q-MR] again. Note: Memory channel data can also be changed while using the TF-SET function. QUICK MEMORY ➡ VFO TRANSFER This function copies the contents of the recalled memory channel to the VFO. 1 Recall a Quick Memory channel. 2 Press [M>V]. Note: Pressing [M>V] after temporarily changing the recalled data copies the new data to the VFO. ERASING QUICK MEMORY CHANNELS 1 Recall a Quick Memory channel. 2 Press and hold [CLR]. • A confirmation message appears on the display. 3 Press [CLR]. • The channel data has been erased. 45
