Simple Memory Storage
The FT-S30 offers 41 programmable memory
channels, labelled 1 through 38, L, U and C. Each
can store separate receive and transmit frequencies
or repeater shift, and CTCSS tone data. Memory C
(the CALL channel memory) can be recalled in-
stantly by the
~
button at the left, and memories
Land
U
can be used to store programmable sub-
band limits, described later, in addition to general
purpose operation.
To store a frequency in memory:
o
Select the desired frequency (and repeater split
manually, if desired) in the VFO mode as al-
ready described.
o
Press and hold
Q!ID
for In-second (until a second
beep sounds). A memory number or letter ap-
pears blinking in the memory box for the se-
lected band.

or press CD or

to select the desired
memory for storage.
If
you select one that was
already being used, it will be overwritten with
new data in the next step.

If
you timed out, nothing new will have been
stored in the memory. Simply start again.
Example: Store the 146.34/146.94 repeater data in
memory 5.
o
First perform the steps in the example on page
22 to set up the desired frequency and offset on
theVFO.
o
Press and hold

for In-second to display the
memory label (blinking) in the memory box,
then do the next step within 5 seconds.
o
!urn the selector knob or press the arrow keys,
if necessary, so that"5" (the memory number to
store) blinks in the memory box.

o
Press COCID again, momentarily. That's it. The
VFO data has been stored in memory 5, and you
are left operating on the VFO.
To confirm that this worked, turn the
DIAL
to
change the VFO frequency (to anything new), then
press
@
to change from VFO to memory mode.
The numeraI 5 should appear in the memory box,
and 149.94 (the receive frequency) should appear
on the,display. As mentioned before, you can press
Q!ID

~
to confirm the transmit frequency of
146.34 MHz.
You can use any memory (except C, the CALL
channel) with the same result. Memory C requires
a slightly different procedure. Notice that pressing
@
from the VFO mode always recalls the
last
stored or used memory.
Recalling Memories
In confirming the results of the last example, we
used
@
to change from the VFO mode to the
memories after they were stored. The memory la-
bel appears in the memory box at the upper left
corner of the channel display whenever operating
on a memory.
When more than one memory has been stored,
you can select a memory for operation with the
selector knob,
rn
and
rn
keys, or by direct key-
pad access. If you use the arrow keys, press and
release the key for each memory: if you hold the
key down for Ih-second, memory scanning will
start. In any case, only prestored memories are
displayed: empty memories are skipped. For direct
access, simply enter the number of the memory
channel you want, followed by

Call Channel Memory
Although invisible to the memory recall meth-
ods just described, the CALL channel memory can
be instantly recalled by the
~J
button:"C" ap-
pears in the memory box. The factory default for
the CALL channel memory is the bottom edge of
the band. You can reprogram it with any frequency
and repeater state, or even a separate transmit fre-
quency.
To store the current VFO frequency/repeater
state in the CALL channel memory, hold COCID for
1/2-second to display something in the memory
box, then press
