Vertex Standard FT-857 manual Memory Channel Recall

MEMORY OPERATION

MEMORY OPERATION ON “REGULAR” MEMORY CHANNELS

Memory Channel Recall

1.If you currently are in the VFO tuning mode, press the [M/V] key once to enter the “Memory” mode (a memory channel number “M-nnn” will appear on the display in the space previously occupied by “VFOa” or “VFOb”).

2.To select another memory channel, turn the SELECT knob.

3.When your memory channels are partitioned into Memory Groups via Menu Mode No- 055 [MEM GROUP], it is easy to change Memory Groups; press the SELECT knob momentarily (a Group Number (“Ma” ~ “Mj” will blink), then turn the SELECT knob to step through the channels until you enter another. You may now press the SELECT knob once more to restrict memory channel access to the newly-selected Group.

Menu No-057 must be set to “MHz/MEM GRP” in order to select Memory

Groups!

4.Once you are operating on a memory channel, you may tune off of the originally-memo- rized frequency (as though you were in the VFO mode). Just rotate the DIAL knob; the “Memory Channel Number” will be replaced by one which indicates “MTUNE,” indicat- ing that you have now shifted into the “Memory Tuning” mode. When operating the Memory Tuning mode, if you find another frequency you wish to store into another memory channel, just press the [A](MW) key momentarily, select a new memory chan- nel via the SELECT knob, then press and hold in the [A](MW) key until you hear the double beep.

5.To exit the Memory Tuning mode, press the [M/V] key as follows:

•One touch of the [M/V] key returns you to the original memory frequency.

•A second touch of the [M/V] key will cause you to exit the Memory mode and return to the VFO mode (the memory channel number will be replaced by “VFOa” or “VFOb.”

1) When operating on a “Split” frequency memory, a special “–+” indication will appear on the LCD.

2)If some memory channels appear to be “missing,” be sure you are not operating in the “Memory Group” mode, and in the wrong Memory Group.
