Vertex Standard FT-1000MP Basic Memory Storage Procedure, Auto Channel-Up, Memory Programming

Memory Features

MEMORY PROGRAMMING

Memory programming allows storing your favorite or often-used frequencies into memory channels for long-term storage and quick recall. The MARK-V FT- 1000MP memories are retained after power-off by a long-life lithium backup battery that should not need to replaced for more than 5 years. Should you expect to not use your transceiver for extended periods, you can switch off the backup battery via the rear panel switch to conserve lithium backup battery life (see page 114).

COPYING VFO-A DATA TO SELECTED MEMORY

You can store the frequency and all operational settings for the displayed (Main) VFO into a memory channel by following this simple procedure:

rSet up all operating parameters and frequency as desired on the Main VFO.

rWhen the VRF feature is engaged, press the VRF/ MEM CH knob momentarily to change the VRF/ MEM CH knob’s operation to that of memory chan- nel selection.

rRotate the VRF/MEM CH knob to select the memory channel to fill (“MCK” will start blinking).

rWhen you have chosen a channel into which to store the frequency data, press and hold in [AuM] for ½ second so that two beeps sound. The VFO con- tents are now stored in the selected memory chan- nel; at this point, you remain in the VFO mode, so you can continue tuning around and/or storing ad- ditional memories.

Auto Channel-Up

Normally, you must manually increment the chan- nel number when programming consecutive memories. If you would like to save time and have the channel number automatically increment after writing each memory, this can be enabled in menu selection 0-8.

Notice

Regarding the VRF/MEM CH Knob

When the VRF feature is engaged, the VRF/MEM CH knob tunes the passband of the narrow input “Preselector” filter. During Memory operation, to enable memory channel selection, press the VRF/ MEM CH knob momentarily; rotation of the knob will now allow you to select other memories. And if you want to enter the “Memory Tune” mode and step around in channelized steps (per the setting of menu selection 1-5), press and hold in the VRF/ MEM CH knob for ½ second.
