MEMORY OPERATION

MEMORY GROUPS

Memory channels may be grouped into as many as six convenient batches, for easy identification and selection. For ex- ample, you might want to set aside memory groups for AM BC stations, shortwave broadcast stations, contest frequencies, repeater frequencies, and PMS limits, or any other groupings you like.

Each memory group is capable of holding up to 22 memory channels (the Group size is fixed). When a memory channel is grouped, the channel numbers change to correspond to the chart below:

Memory Group Assignment

1.Press the [MENU] button to enter the Menu mode.

2.Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select Menu item “030 GEnE MEM GRP.”

3.Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to set this Menu item to “On” (the default setting is “OFF”).

4.Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to save the new setting and exit. Operation will now be restricted to the six Memory Groups.

To cancel Memory Group operation, repeat steps (1) through (4) above, choosing “OFF” in step (3).

ADVICE

Note that for the PMS memory group, the PMS memories “P-1L” through “P-9U” will be so designated, so as to avoid confusion.

Choosing the Desired Memory Group

You may recall memories just within a particular Memory Group, if desired.

1.Press the [V/M] button, if necessary, to enter the Memory mode.

2.Press the [GRP] button (below and to the left of the [SUB VFO-B] knob). The imbedded LED inside the switch will light up.

3.Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to select the desired Memory Group.

4.Press the [M CH] button (just below the [GRP] but- ton). The imbedded LED inside the switch will light up.

5.Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to select the desired Memory Channel within the Selected Memory Group.

ADVICE:

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

￿If no channels have been assigned to a particular Memory Group, you will not have access to that Group.
