MEMORIZING STATIONS (FRONT PANEL ONLY)

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall.

When memorizing FM frequencies, the receiver also stores the MPX setting (auto stereo or mono, see "MPX Mode" on page 23). The process for memorizing stations is only possible from the controls on the front panel of the receiver.
