MEMORY OPERATION

The VXA-700provides 102 user-programmable Main memories, labeled “MR1” through “MR100”, “MRLch,” and “MRUch,” and up to 90 pre-programmed memories, designated “Book” Memories, labeled “BMR1” through “BMR90.”

The Main memories and “Book” Memories can be assigned alpha-numeric names of up to eight characters.

Memory System Operation

The VXA-700’s Main Memory system allows the user to store, label, and recall channel frequencies which you may want to use frequently. You may store VFO frequencies, “Book” Memory frequencies, and/or Weather Channel frequencies (USA version only) into the Main Memory sys- tem.

Memory Storage

rSelect the desired frequency in the VFO mode, or re- call the “Book” Memory channel or Weather channel to be stored in the Main Memory.

rPress and hold in the key for 2 seconds. The dis- play will indicate “MR” and a channel number will

blink on the LCD.

rWithin five seconds of pressing the key, rotate the DIAL selector knob to select the desired memory chan- nel number for storage. In order to prevent writing

over memory channels, an “ ” icon will appear at the right of the channel number to indicate if the memory channel is vacant.

rNow press and hold in the key for 2 seconds; you will now see the blinking “A” character on the LCD. To attach an alpha/numeric name (label) to the memory, proceed to the next step; otherwise press and

hold in the key for 2 seconds to save the entry and exit.

rTo label a memory with an alpha/numeric name, the next step is to use the DIAL selector knob to select any of the 125 available characters (including letters, numbers, and special symbols). When the desired first

character appears, press the key momentarily to select it and move on to the next character.
