Memo pads, Calling up a frequency from a memo pad

MEMORY AND SCAN OPERATION 5

■Memo pads

The transceiver has a memo pad function to store fre- quency and operating mode for easy write and recall. The memo pads are separate from memory channels.

The default number of memo pads is 5, however, this can be increased to 10 in initial set mode if desired (p. 53).

Memo pads are convenient when you want to memo- rize a frequency and operating mode temporarily, such as when you ﬁnd a DX station in a pile-up or when a station is busy for a long time and you want to tem- porarily search for other stations.

Use the transceiver’s memo pads instead of relying on hastily scribbled notes that are easily misplaced.

•Writing frequencies and operating modes into memo pads

➀Select the S1 display.

•Push [DISPLAY] 1 or 2 times to select S.

•Push [MENU] one or more times to select S1.

When you write a 6th frequency and operating mode, the oldest written frequency and operating mode are automatically erased to make room for the new set- tings.

Note: Each memo pad must have its own unique combination of frequency and operating mode; memo pads having identical settings cannot be writ- ten.
