MEMORY OPERATION

STANDARD MEMORY OPERATION

Moving Memory Data to the Main Band (VFO-A)

You may transfer the contents of the currently-selected memory channel into the Main band (VFO-A) register, if you like.

1.Press the [V/M] button, as necessary, to go to the Memory mode. The memory channel number will ap- pear in the multi-panel window.

2.Press the [M CH] button. The Red LED inside the switch will light up, indicating that you are ready to recall a memory channel.

ADVICE:

If the Red LED imbedded in the [M CH] button does not light up, check to be sure that the orange lamp to the right of the [SUB VFO-B] knob is not illuminated. If it is, press the [A/B] switch to make it go out, then press the [M CH] button again.

3.Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to select the memory channel the contents of which you wish to transfer to the Main band (VFO-A).

4.Press and hold in the [M￿A] button for two seconds, until you hear the double beep. The data in the selected memory channel will now be transferred to the Main band (VFO-A).

ADVICE:

This transfer of data to the Main band (VFO-A) does not affect the original contents of the memory channel; this is a “copy” function that leaves the memory contents un- changed.

You may freely tune off of any memory channel in a “Memory Tune” mode that is similar to VFO operation. So long as you do not over-write the contents of the current memory, Memory Tune operation will not alter the contents of the memory channel.

1.Press the [V/M] button to recall any memory channel.

2.Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob; you will now ob- serve that the memory channel’s frequency is chang- ing.

ADVICE:

￿The “” icon will replace the “” icon in the multi-panel window, indicating you are in the “Memory Tune” mode.

￿During Memory Tune operation, you may change operating modes, and engage the Clarifier, if de- sired.

3.Press the [V/M] button momentarily to return to the originally-memorized frequency of the current memory channel. One more press of the [V/M] button will re- turn you to VFO operation.

NOTE:

Computer software programs utilizing the CAT system interface port may presume that the transceiver is operating in the VFO mode for certain features like “band map- ping” and/or frequency logging. Because the “Memory Tune” mode so closely resembles the VFO mode, be sure that you have the FT-2000operating in a control mode compatible with your software’s requirements. Use the VFO mode if you’re not sure.
