■Memory names

ïProgramming memory names

The memory channel can display a 6-character names in- stead of the programmed frequency.

qRotate [DIAL] to select the desired frequency in the fre- quency mode.

wPush , then push [MR•MW] to program the contents into the selected memory channel.

eRotate [DIAL] to select the desired memory channel to be programmed.

•Push [0•BANK] to select the BANK number if desired. Push [CLR•DEL] to exit the BANK selection mode.

rPush [MR•MW] to enter the memory name programming mode.

•“-- -- -- -- -- -- ” appears on the display.

tPush the appropriate digit key several times to select the desired character as listed at right.

•To erase a character, overwrite with a space (displayed as _).

•To move the cursor forwards or backwards, use [DIAL].

yPush [ENT•WX] to program the name.

•Flashing the memory name stops.

•When no name is programmed, the display shows the operating frequency.

•To clear the programmed memory names, push [CLR•DEL] be- fore pushing [ENT•WX].
