MEMORY OPERATION

STANDARD MEMORY OPERATION

Checking a Memory Channel’s Status

Before programming a channel into memory, you can check the current contents of that channel without the danger of overwriting the channel accidentally.

1.Press the [A￿M] button momentarily.

The data stored in the currently-selected memory chan- nel will be displayed in the Sub band (VFO-B) fre- quency field. However, since you are only checking the contents of the memory channel, your radio will not have moved to the memory channel’s frequency.

2.Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to select a different memory channel. To exit from the Memory Check mode, press the [A￿M] button momentarily once more.

ADVICE:

￿While the Memory Check function is engaged, the memory channel number will blink in the multi-panel window.

￿While operating in the VFO mode, using Memory Check, you may store the current contents of the Main (VFO-A) register into the selected memory by press- ing and holding in the [A￿M] button for two seconds (until the double beep). Conversely, if you wish to write the contents of the current memory into the Main (VFO-

A)register, press and hold in the [M￿A] button for two seconds.

Erasing Memory Channel Data

1.Press the [A￿M] button.

The data stored in the currently-selected memory chan- nel will be displayed in the Sub (VFO-B) band fre- quency field.

2.Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to select the memory channel that you would like to erase.

3.Press the [LOCK] button to erase the contents of the selected memory channel.

ADVICE:

￿After erasure, only the memory channel number will remain; the frequency data will disappear from the dis- play.

￿If you make a mistake and wish to restore the memory’s contents, just repeat steps (1) through (3) above.
