MEMORY STRUCTURE

The MARK-VFT-1000MPcontains ninety-nine regular memories, labeled 1-1 through 1-99, nine spe- cial programmed limit memories, labeled P1 through P9, and five QMB (Quick Memory Bank) memories, labeled C1~C5. Each stores the Main VFO’s frequency and mode, IF filter selections, Clarifier on/off and off- set settings, as well as Repeater Shift status (if appro- priate). By default, the 99 regular memories are con- tained in one group; however, they can be arranged in up to 5 separate groups if desired.

Like during VFO operation, you can freely tune and change the mode or Clarifier settings and you can also copy settings from one memory to another. In fact, you can do nearly anything with a memory that you can with the VFOs, except for the special PMS memories (P1~P0), described later.

The [VFO/MEM], [AuM], [MuA] and [M CK] but- tons and VRF/MEM CH knob are used to control vari- ous memory operations, as follows:

r[VFO/MEM] - This toggles control between memory or VFO operation. If a displayed memory has been re-tuned, pressing [VFO/MEM] once returns to the originally-memorized frequency, and pressing it again returns to the last-used VFO.

r[Au M] - When receiving on a VFO or re-tuned memory, pressing and holding in this key for ½ sec- ond stores the current operating data into the cur- rently selected memory. Two beeps sound, and any previous data in that memory register will be over- written. Momentarily pressing this key activates memory checking (“MCK” blinks) for 3 seconds. This is described in the next section on memory storage and recall.

r[MuA] - Pressing and holding in this key for ½ sec- ond copies the frequency and operating data stored in a selected memory into the Main VFO. Momen- tarily pressing this key activates memory checking (“MCK” blinks) for 3 seconds. This is described in the next section on memory storage and recall.

r[M CK] - Pressing this key also activates memory checking (to look at the current contents of a memory or memories) and displays the contents of the memory channels in the right Sub VFO display.

rVRF/MEM CH - This knob selects the memory channel while memory operation. However, when the VRF feature is engaged, this knob tune the pass- band of the narrow input “preselector” filter. In this instance, press this knob momentarily to change this knob’s operation to that of memory channel se- lection.
