MEMORY OPERATION

QMB (QUICK MEMORY BANK)

The Quick Memory Bank consists of five memories (labeled “C-1” through “C-5.”) independent from the regular and PMS memories. These can quickly store operating parameters for later recall.

QMB Channel Storage

1.Tune to the desired frequency on the Main (VFO-A) band.

2. Press the blue [QMB(STO)] button. The “beep” will confirm that the contents of the Main (VFO-A) band have been written to the currently-available QMB memory.

If you repeatedly press the [QMB(STO)] button, the QMB

memories will be written in the following order: C-2 ￿ C-3 ￿ C-4 ￿ C-5 ￿ C-1 ......

Once all five QMB memories have data on them, previous data (starting with channel “C-1”) will be over-written on a first-in, first-out basis.

QMB Channel Recall

1. Press the [QMB(RCL)] button. The current QMB channel’s data will be shown on the Main (VFO-A) frequency display field and the QMB memory channel number will be shown in the Multi-Display Window.

2.Repeatedly pressing the [QMB(RCL)] button will

toggle you through the QMB channels:

C-2 ￿ C-3 ￿ C-4 ￿ C-5 ￿ C-1 ......

3.Press the [V/M] button to return to the VFO or Memory mode.

ADVICE:

Rotating the Main Tuning Dial knob, or changing the operating mode, will place the transceiver in the “Memory Tune” mode, which is a temporary “pseudo-VFO” method of tuning off of a stored memory channel. If you do not over-write the contents of the current memory channel, the original contents will not be disturbed by the initiation of Memory Tune operation.
